The right to be free of government establishing religion (First Amendment) is
extended to all U.S. citizens so that neither federal, state or local government may
do so (14th Amendment).

Sounds good, but that's not what these amendments say. The first amendment doesn't say "there shall be no law...", it says "Congress shall make no law...". And the 14th extends this restriction to the states. Any claim that the 14th amendment prevents municipalities from doing anything is not misinterpretation, it is a falsehood.
