In reply to James A Duncan. You can find many examples of atheists / humanist giving invocations on YouTube, many of which are quite meaningful, inclusive, and inspiring.

Where will all this lead? We ultimately face losing references to God on our coins and bills, in our anthems and pledges, and on our public lands’ monuments. Next to go will be Meditation, Yoga and Moments of Silence!

Okay, I’m a an athiest, and damn proud of it. If I attended a town meeting and they did some prayers I would not be happy, I wouldn’t say anything but I’d think this isn’t the place for this. Getting up in front if everybody to speak wouldn’t cross my mind. I ask my fellow atheists what are you gonna say exactly? “I wanna take this moment to acknowledge those who don’t believe in the crowd, thank you”….. Why bother? Let the sheep say their piece, chuckle to yourself and get on with it.

So all they had to do was let the atheists have their turn, and we wouldn’t be hearing about any of this. Personally, I don’t think there should be ANY sort of religious invocation to open the sessions – anyone remember separation of church and state? But if you’re gonna have them, have to have them all. When is the Muslim opening prayer scheduled? Have they set up a time for the Buddhist monks to come in and chant?

There is no reason to behave this way without motive. What’s the governments motive here…ask them
