That's where you are wrong. At a certain point contemporary community standards will take precedent.I think if you are going to allow a Christian prayer to be offered then you must allow any and all other prayers, from any religion.
Including Satanism.
People of a community demand a certain way of life. They think alike. They act alike. Their kids play together, go to school together. This is what makes a community. People work hard to find these zones of comfort and security. They help each other.
IN light of that, these people are entitled by God to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No government can take that away. The Founding Fathers saw to that.
To that end, if a community wishes to include or exclude, as long as their is no harm, they have that right. So if a community objects to the celebration of something as evil as satan, that is their right. If the people who wish Satan to be worshiped feel that strongly , they can seek relief from the courts. Even then let's say a judge who thinks the Establishment clause was written in Sanskrit decides Satan worship to be a religion, rules in favor of allowing a prayer to Satan, that does not mean the community will allow it.
It is our right as citizens to demonstrate civil disobedience when we believe collectively that a law or judges ruling is unjust.
