>IAC, it does not matter since the gov't is not mandating that you worship a specific religion.

Even the words of the first amendment itself don't indicate that "mandating that you worship a specific religion" is the only criterion. Here it is again:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...

The second part says they can't mandate a religion; the first part says they can't establish a state religion, whether or not it's mandated.

And, of course, there's tons of case law on exactly what the phrases mean.
