Internet use in the US is used by almost every citizen - perhaps it should be purged to make it religiously neutral? Heck, streets are public - should churches not be allowed to be seen from the street, otherwise a public road with only a protestant church on it are no longer "neutral". How far will you go to eradicate the rights of a private entity to be religious in or on its own "property"?

That is the technicality.
You choose to use it - that is your choice. Don't like what a private enterprise does, don't use what they own. Or do you, by virtue of owning a car, have a right to tell the car manufacturer how they will advertise, what there logo must be, etc?

Someone told this "private institution" that it should put the words on the currency, I can tell it to take it off. Door swings both ways.
True - and they can choose to listen to you - or not - as they please. They can - and have so far - chosen to NOT be "religiously neutral".
