Notice how Ginsburg and her friends were not depicted with their tiaras for the actual and reigning state religion of the US - secular humanism.

When the left says they believe in the separation of church and state, what they mean is separation of the people from their faith. They are not opposed to a state religion, they just demand that it be theirs.

How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true.
