Why is this so difficult? The principle of the division of Church and State must apply when anyone is dispensing a public service because the public must not know the religion of a public servant when accessing such a service. Plain and simple. This does, of course, not apply to those work in the private sector; only the public.

Naturally, religious groups are hysterically up-in-arms, charging the government with discrimination and all manner of nefarious intentions. No, people. It's just separation of Church and State and I wholly embrace it.
But it's going to the Supreme Court anyway. Look the principle up, if you don't get it. The separation of church and state is:
"A legal and philosophical doctrine that prevents the government from establishing a state religion which favours one faith. This wall of separation ensures religious freedom and secular governance." How much clearer can it be?
Anyway, the debate rages and the only people benefiting are the lawyers.
I have blogged this countless times, but it still rears its unnecessary head. Oh well, it give Richard Wagner and his gang something to chew on. Going to post an old blog about this because it still applies. (See above)
