re: How about this Auburn controversy

Freedom for religion and freedom from religion are two completely different and diametrically opposed things. Our nation was not founded on the idea of freedom from religion - quite the contrary, actually. Those who push for that end are, as per the usual, advancing the cause of Marxism while thinking they are "curing social ills". The way our government is supposed to work is that religion can be exercised in public fora to everyone's content. The only stipulation is that all forms of religious expression must be given equal right to participate. So, a Christian prayer before a football game in no way violates the Constitution. Now, if there were Muslims present who also wanted to say a public prayer and they were prevented from doing so by an elected or appointed official, that would violate the Constitution, but that is not what is occurring here. Instead, crusading atheists/Marxists are attempting to have public religious expression outlawed, which is both unconstitutional, and the exact same thing they claim to believe Christians are trying to do to them (force them to participate in their worldview), but in reverse.
