In the US "public" does not necessarily mean "government". While the government does hold the land in what is called a public trust, the public retains the right to democratically control the usage of many lands.

And to get a bit more circular about it, the public is democratically ruled, i.e. protected from the tyranny of the majority and therefore forbidden to favor one religion over another, which can be taken to say that expressions of one religion over another on public land is denied.

Man, I feel like we should all be in the Supreme Court chambers debating this.

No doubt.

This is a good one, and is one of the reasons that I worry the Constitution is a tad broken. Good point though, even though I don't think I agree.
