No. I would consider a prohibition of putting up such a sign to be a prohibition of putting up the sign. Prohibiting the sign does not prohibit the activity the sign promoted. Applied to your original argument, prohibiting the erection of the Ten Commandments on public property is merely the prohibition of erecting them on public property. It is not a prohibition of the religion(s) which they are perceived as promoting.
