I’m tired of Atheists trying to force their religious beliefs on the rest of us.

According to that court's "reasoning," the municipal government violated the First Amendment, which both (a) guarantees freedom of religion and (b) forbids government to establish one.

It does no such thing. It is here that the court errs. The First Amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …

What the First Amendment actually does is prevent Congress from passing any laws regarding the establishment of religion one way or another. The amendment takes the question of religion out of federal jurisdiction and reserves it to the states.
