You are relying on post WWII liberal "interpretations"...

No. Just common sense.

No..liberalism. Until FDR stuffed the Supreme Court with marxists, Americans were free to put up Nativity scenes on town greens and display their faith most anyway they chose.

Citizens were allowed to work out who put up what among themselves. You want judges to decide. That is tyranny and absolutely the opposite of what the founders intended when they wrote the first amendment.

Btw..have you noticed certain religions do get special treatment? Muslims are allowed to pray in NYC schools. Congress spent $1 million to build a school in Israel for "Black Israelites"(American citizens) from Chicago.

I don't have a problem with either as a matter of principle. If that is what the voters want, so be it. But let's have some equality under law and extend these rights to all. As the founders intended.
