Spell it out for you? Sure

People were promoting it. They are part of the state, so they're allowed to do that. The government can't force someone to go or penalize them for not going.
Were they promoting it as part of their official capacities? Did they use their official titles in the promotion? if so, that is not allowed.
I am a state employee. As such, I cannot promote a specific religious view in my official functions. On my own time, however, I can. In the same way, when I am at work, I cannot engage in political campaigning. I can, however, when I am away from my official post.
Do you see the differences?
You seem to have the idea backwards. The state is the people, not the government. The government isn't there to dictate to the people, but rather to serve the people. What you're doing is promoting communism. What the government shouldn't be doing is insisting people can't choose to do something. They can't make you go, and they can't penalize you for not going, but they should protect your right to go if you choose to without some wacko cult interfering.
We don't need wacko groups interfering with our freedom. If so, they should be seen as an enemy of the state.
