government cannot officially pick one religion over another (they seem to ignore this now)
Kind of - what they do is claim that Christianity isn't one religion, but many, and that they're not favouring any one specific Christian denomination, therefore it's legal for them to favour Christians in general.
It's not "establishment" of Christianity because you have a choice: Baptist or Southern Baptist!
