There is no constitutional right to be free of religious expression. The constitution's intent was to keep separate church and State. They wanted to prevent the formation of a State church while maintaining religious freedom for all. If the framers of the constitution intended government to refrain from any form of religious expression they wouldn't have mentioned God or conducted prayers during government sessions. The issue then was separation of power between church and State.
Today we have seen Judges appointed who care little for the original intent of the constitution. They see that document as something in need of reinterpreting in light of their personal social preferences. They are making bad law.
