They are using the courts to enforce the constitution.

Debatable. The constitution does not say there will not be religion.
Basically it states there will not be "state religion" ala Church of
England. God is even referenced in the Declaration of Independence.
Religious people also have a right to use public property. It is also
owned by them. This a government of, by, and for the people. Even
atheists can have a display on public property.

Ever hear of separation of church and state?

----------------------------
yup. Where does it state that in the Constitution?

In the first amendment and in interpretations by the supreme court,
neither of which you've probably read for comprehension.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

No Church of the USA and you can practice your religion without
government interference.

Or, would you like to see religious institutions pay taxes, unlike you,
so that they can utilize public property like any other tax paying
individual or entity? Oh, wait you wouldn't know about the paying taxes
part, it is a foreign concept to you.
