Can you read? I didn't say anything about the government prohibiting free exercise. What I addressed was prohibiting the government from promoting the exercise of a specific religion. I don't know how you read history if that is a demostration of your reading comprehension skills.

The first amendment requires neutrality as regards religion.

However, we have a slight problem because for my entire adult life the government has been promoting secular humanism to the exclusion of religion. What now?

The government is not prohibited from promoting religion, specific or not. It is prohibited from establishing a state religion, entirely different.
