Nope. See the part about making "no law respecting an establishment of religion."
<!--QuoteBegin-Mr.Vicchio, The town of X allows the local Mosque to use city equipment to make the call to prayer.

It depends upon the policy of town X regarding use of city equipment. If town X allows the local mosque to use the equipment (on whatever terms), then town X had better allow the local chapter of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy (or the local synagogue, church, Kiwanis, masonic temple, etc.) to use the same equipment on the same terms.
