Here are a smidgen of cases where the ACLU has attacked Christianity. The site didn't even get into all the cases that get filed around Christmas, which is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY celebrating the birth of one of histories most influential philosophers... Jesus. If you truly think the ACLU is as righteous as you say it is, perhaps you should do some additional digging and see some of the more ridiculous cases they file in their quest of eliminating Christianity.

Those looked like attacks on Religion/State interaction.
As for the ruling itself: The SCOTUS is required to settle cases on lesser grounds before it settles them on constitutional grounds.
SCOTUS doesn't make constitutional interpritation decisions on hypothetical situations.
As for "under God", it is an endorcement of deism. Deism is a pretty large umbrella: most people in the USA are some kind of deist.
Religions are strong enough to stand without government support, and governments are strong enough to stand without religious support.
