They are laws respecting establishments of religion, and they effectively prohibit free exercise by taking from from practitioners of one religion and giving to other religious organizations.
They usurp the religious activities of the states and the people. The constitution did not authorize the federal government to fund religious organizations.
Not in the slightest - they establish no religion in any way - let alone in the very specific way indicated by the US Constitution.

You are arguing that one cannot freely practice his religion unless his church receives transfer payments from the federal government.
Surely you realize how preposterous this claim is.
They usurp the religious activities of the states and the people.
Not at all. The people and the states retain the right to fund faith-based initatives to whatever extent they wish - no matter how much money the federal government contributes or does not contribute.
The constitution did not authorize the federal government to fund religious organizations.
The constitution permits the federal government to spend money however it pleases to promote the general welfare, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of the states or the people.
And funding faith-based initiatives does interfere with any state or person's free decision to fund or not fund faith-based initiatives out of their own pockets.
