But when a government entity uses public resources to promote such a trip, not so much.

If a local church group were to use its website to promote the trip, you wouldn't have heard a peep out of FFRF, which is as it should be.

It's for the people to decide not a fanatical atheist cult.

The people DID decide, which you'd know if you'd read the article. And they can continue to decide - anyone in that town, anyone in the WORLD can decide to go visit Ken Ham's attractions, no harm no foul. FFRF has never stopped anyone from going to the Ark thingy or the Creation thingy.  What they did was to remind the town that it is unconstitutional for a government agency to sponsor religious activities.  And the town agreed.  No one got sued, no one had their religious freedoms trampled.  In fact, the case could be made that FFRF did the town a favour by helping them avoid a (potentially) costly lawsuit.

This sort of thing was settled in 1789.  Keep up.
