You have been reading too much ACLU. There is no Constitutional right to be free of an established religion. The Constitution protects us only from the Congress, in that the "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". The delegates to the Constitutional Convention were clear that this meant no particular Christian denomination shall be imposed on the people by the federal Congress. Nothing else.

This hasn't been true since long before you were born.
