With respect, where exactly is that? The only thing I find with respect to religion is the 1st Amendment, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." Now I can see where laws regulating religion are prohibited, and I see were prohibiting free exercise is not allowed, but I can't seem to see that part where they aren't allowed to support religion. I certainly don't see how they can deny the free exercise of religion simply because it occurs in public, on public property or even in a government building. Certainly I see nothing that prohibits members of the government from being religious and freely exercising their religion in their course of their duties. If it means hanging the 10 Commandants on their court room wall to choosing to lead a prayer at the beginning of a session. Any restraints on that would, IMO, seem to be in conflict with the free exercise of religion. I certainly don't see any clause that says "except for public employees".
