Secularism doesn't accommodate Christianity. Yes. Those things are antithetical. You have to see that. The 1st amendment isn't inherently antithetical to freedom of religion. But it's been morphed into a freedom "from" religion article predominately during a time when Hugo Black, a KKK member who was vehemently anti-Catholic was on the SCOTUS.
How is this 1/300,000,000th of a vote? The Oklahoma Supreme Court recently ruled a district had to pull the charter for a publicly funded Catholic school that had over 200 applicants. Those people don't want their children to receive a secular education. Why should they be denied the opportunity to educate their children the way they want?
I think you need to expand on what you mean when you say non-Christian is the same as anti-Christian. Saying that non-Christians have beliefs that are different or incompatible with Christianity is a tautology. There must be some reason for introducing the "anti-" into the word. The 'anti-' introduces teeth to the word that were not there before and it implies something offensive or antagonistic about being non-Christian.
If someone tells you that they don't care for country music, then you say 'ok, that person doesn't care for country music'. If someone tells you they are anti-country music, then I think it suggests a deeper dislike for country. Someone that doesn't care for country music couldn't care less if you listen to country music. Someone that is anti-country music wants to rid the world of that terrible sound.
I don't know much about the OK case. My understanding is that they ruled that public funds could not be used to fund a Catholic charter school. I'm sympathetic to a parent that wants their child to go to a Christian school, but cannot afford it, but I think you have to also consider the full implications of the ruling. If state funding can be used to pay for a Catholic charter school, then your tax payer money can also be used to fund Islamic schools and Satanist schools. I think this is one of those issues where a lot of Christians expect to be able to use tax payer money to support their religion, but would lose their Effing mind if their tax payer money was going to support an Islamic school.
School vouchers could be an option. I have my concerns about vouchers, but like I said, I'm also sympathetic to letting parents choose a school for their kids. Because you know. . . . I'm not anti-Christian.

I don't want the ugly public commissioned art, architecture, and music. Abortion, transgenderism, etc that all come from secularism.
Again, I don't know how to take statements like this as anything other than "I don't like people and things that are different from me".
So fine, commission your own art, build your own buildings, make your own music, don't get an abortion, and don't change your gender. There are all manner of things about religion that I don't agree with. I solve this problem by not participating in religion.
