That argument used to hold up prior to the 14th Amendment. Where the left takes it too far is to confuse the presence of religion in the public square with the establishment of a religion by the state.

It still holds up, as the court decisions did not expand the 14th Amendment to apply to it until decades after it was ratified. Early court decisions after the 14th Amendment realized the Amendment has no bearing here.
