Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.

The SCOTUS precedent

Don't worry they don't believe in Precedent anymore. You just need to grease their wheels. I hear it's cheaper than you think.

It's relatively cheap for their masters, but they won't buck the leash that got them into their position

I would start invoicing people for your time until you get a legal cease and desist. Then sue them, just because they accepted responsibility.

Make it cost them money.

You could counter with a Baha'i prayer. They are still an Abrahamic religion, and they have literally hundreds of prayers for practically every topic.

I don’t want any prayer. It’s coerced religion.

And you can't disrupt the meeting by interrupting the prayer until they kick you out, because then presumably your employer would fire you, I assume? 'Cause if not, you should definitely ruin their motherfucking christofascist bullshit.
