So there is the key: "acknowledge and accomodate" without "advocating"!

That's always been exactly how I read the First amendment!

[FredFlash]

Religious freedom is not about distinguishing acknowledging religion from advocating religion. If the test to determine what is permissible is whether the law or other official act acknowledges God, then a death warrant ordering the exceution of an individual for his religion would meet the test just as long as it contained an acknowledgement of God.
