"The constitution doesn't say anything about practicing your religion in a public school."

The Constitution does not talk about public school. Period.

It does however forbid limiting the free exercise of religion. It also protects religious freedom by limiting the federal government from making one religion the official state religion.

"I don't believe this judge said you can't go to the church of your choice and worship any way you choose. That's what the separation of church and state is all about, not teaching religious 'theories' in science class."

This judge threw out ID because the proponents were religious. He called them liars for being religious and then giving nonreligious reasons for including ID in the curriculum.

According to this judge, religious motivations are enough to exclude a person from public education and politics.

This judge has done nothing to abridge your right to worship as you see fit. The fact that you believe this ruling abridges your right to practice your religion (in the public schools) proves that you believe that intelligent design is religious in nature.

He called them liars because they lied. They lied about how the money came to be collected for the "Pandas" books, and about what they said in School Board meetings. Go read the transcript.

If I were you, I wouldn't want to be associated with such people.
