cannot fund an evangelical Christian prison ministry program because doing so advances or endorses religion

Fine! Throw all those korans at Gitmo in the ocean. No more federally funded prayer beads or rugs either. I keep hearing about the spread of islam stemming from our prisons. Will that program must end as well.

I have no problem with this. I'm an atheist myself and I don't want my tax dollars used to spread Christianity. Make me do so and you might as well call my tax dollars jizya, the majority taxing the minority to pay for the propagation of it's own religion. If they want to privately fund the program, be my guest. But this program is unconstitutional not just on church/state grounds but also because the Constitution does not give the fed the authority to fund such a program.
