Christians have the same right to use public facilities for religious activities as Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Pagans, Wiccans, Zoroasterians, etc....

His point was that they don't. The Christians that is. Can you point to a single case where any of those named above were denied use of government facilities, except for those deemed Christian, like the Boy Scouts?

I don't know if you looked lately, but Boy Scout troops are sponsored by Buddhist, Moslem, Jewish and Bahai congregations as well - maybe even some Hindu troops. Its not a uniquely Christian thing.

I've never heard of a case where they were granted use of such facilities, and Christians were not. Personally, I'd be willing to let Christian groups use public parks and the like, as long as the others were allowed to as well. Equal treatment is consistent with the Establishment clause, while any sort of special treatment (positive or negative) violates it.
