Here's a good response to it:

  But people who write bills like this aren't trying to make law. Their
  intent is to further the right's narrative that Christians are a
  persecuted minority under siege. They want to guarantee that the good
  folks at the Anti-defamation league, the ACLU and Americans United fight
  to have their silly legislation overturned, proving that those civil
  rights groups have an anti-Christian agenda (and perhaps even a direct
  association with Satan). And bills like this -- you couldn't write a
  piece of legislation that more obviously violates the Establishment
  Clause --are meant to give those groups a victory in court, thereby
  proving the existence of out-of-control activist judges dedicated to
  stymieing the popular will of the Christian majority.

Right.  This is why we sometimes hear on this list how awful the ACLU is. 
The ACLU won't allow Christians to take over the government.  How awful! 
Christianity is really good, after all, and even if you are one of the bad 
people who doesn't like Christianity you have to admit that it is the most 
popular religion.  We live in a democracy, so Christianity, the most 
popular religion, should be our choice for a state religion.  People who 
don't believe in Christianity just aren't getting it.  Having a state 
religion will help them to understand the essential truth of Christianity 
and it might even save them from eternal damnation.  How could anyone 
stand in the way of Christianity as it tries to save souls from eternal 
damnation?  I mean, just how evil is the ACLU?
