I should just acquiesce and use the term "NGO" in its true meaning.

Well, that is the 1st Amendment. And Congress is the only institution that can pass a law to establish a religion, but they are restricted from doing so. Private and pseudo-private institutions can not pass a law that says you and I have to go to the Glory Bound Baptist Church every Sunday.
