"The problem is his using his government position and facilities to make religious statements."

So the monuments to religious law-givers in the SCOTUS building are doing the same? How about all those statues to Greek and Roman gods in governmental buildings?

It's not a single display excluding others, and there are secular ones included as well (like Hammurabi). The SCOTUS has not said their authority derives from God. The SCOTUS has not said that these laws are the supreme law of the land.

How about all those statues to Greek and Roman gods in governmental buildings?

They are placed there as art, and are anyway nearly universally considered as myths. (I've never met a Zeus or Hera worshipper.)
