If you really want to have fun, point out that freedom of speech and the establishment clause appear in the same amendment - and that as the necessary and logical result of giving meaning and effect to the establishment clause, government officials don't get to use the government megaphone to proselytize as part of their set of personal free speech and freedom of religion rights.
