They aren't. It's the religious displays on public property that are not permitted under the Constitution. You can do anything you want so long as tax dollars aren't involved.
I tend to disagree with that as you worded it. Public property belongs to the public, not the government. There's nothing in the Constitution to prevent the public from erecting a nativity scene, or festivus pole, on public property. If the government bought a nativity scene to display (as was probably commonly done fifty years ago), there's potential for an Establishment Clause conflict.
