I'm very cynical when it comes to the gov't v. religion angle.
Of course organizations are made up of individuals. However, there is a difference between individuals doing things of their own volition and an organization driving an ORGANIZED effort.

That's what was banned.

You're muddling the issue needlessly, as the distinction is obvious. Here's another example: say Catholics were editing pages. This is fine. Now say the Pope ordered the use of Vatican computers, labor, and other assets to edit the pages. That would not be fine.
