"...All people would be welcome to practice their religious faith with no official state-run religion, just as the Founding Fathers intended. So, yes, you could have a manger in front of the town hall at Christmas and the Ten Commandments on a court house wall, and teachers in public school could teach from the Bible in class when it was appropriate."

This one is confused. These are not examples of people being free to practice their faith. These are examples of the state practicing religion. That's why they are a problem in the first place.

You can put a manger in your yard. That doesn't mean the town hall should.

A manger in front of a town hall on Christmas, the Ten Commandments on a court house wall, and “public school” teachers teaching from the bible are not examples of the state establishing a religion. This is the fundamental problem with a lot of conservatives today, they've conceded the moral high ground because they believe progressive lies.
