Not in this case. Were I defending the ACLU on principle, you would be justified in bringing those cases up. However, since I never have, you're only clouding the issue.

In this case, we see a government grant special access to one faith while specifically denying that access to another faith. That cannot stand.

GOTCHA!

No one said anything about "one faith" but you!. The original article mentions Judeo-Christian faiths being represented, so the suggestion that only one faith is being represented is a fiction.

It also means that the First Amendment doesn't apply since the government is not establishing any single faith as the state religion.
