> Though such clauses don’t technically violate the First Amendment

Not technically, not in spirit, not in any way related to the 1st amendment. Have so few people actually bothered to learn even a little about the 1st amendment? You can read the entire first amendment several times and then ponder it a little in just a few minutes, because it's very short. In fact, I'll paste the entire text:

  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
  religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
  abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
  right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
  the Government for a redress of grievances.
To boil it down even further for relevance:

  Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press
That's it. The contract and agreement to it have nothing to do with the first amendment.
