While the first amendment specifically prevents Congress from making a law respecting an establishment of religion, it does not prevent govermental bodies from engaging in prayer. This is neither making a law, nor establishing a religion, only practicing the "free exercise thereof," also included in the first amendment.
The free exercise means anyone at anytime has the right to practice their religion, either publicly or privately, up unto the point where it infringes on someone else's rights.
No one has the right to not be offended, despite our current PC culture.
Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion. Midian 13:03, 2 August 2006 (EDT)
