Our Founding Fathers seem to have intentionally avoided any mention of "god" in our constitution and wrote a specific ban on government establishment of religion.

How is erecting a religious symbol on public property establishing a religion?

And welcome to Free Republic.

You asked "How is erecting a religious symbol on public property establishing a religion? "

The only objects erected on public lands are those that are approved or endorsed by the government. A large cross, to the exclusion of symbols from other religions, implies that the government endorses only that one religion.
