Activist gets arrested for interrupting prayer.

That's an old canard and not worth discussing. Absence of faith in a religion is NOT a religion.

I think Baafie is on the right track. If one wishes to pray in public, be it a moment of bowed head, a few mumbled words of hope and faith or wearing a magic shawl, that is okay. A judge leading a prayer in a courtroom or the The speaker of the house leading the group in a public prayer to start off a legislative session is wrong in that it gives the official stamp of approval to whichever religious language they are praying in.
