This also happened prior to the Zoning Board of Adjustments meeting where we were asked to bow our heads and ask the Lord Jesus to guide us in our decisions.

Congress, the Supreme Court, and several state legislatures do so, so I'd have to say you're on solid ground.

No.
The 1st Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
It clearly states that Congress can't pass a law prohibiting a city council from exercising their religion.

Did somebody say "while you at the instant are not Christian, you pass to detention center"? Did somebody say "while you at the instant are not Christian, you won't be in a position to vote"? Did somebody say "while you at the instant are not Christian, you won't be in a position to run for workplace"? No, they did not. So no one violated the form, and in case you have been offended, then it quite is your issue. i'm getting offended while people mutter "bull$hit" interior of listening to variety of my infants. that doesn't advise i will placed them in detention center or they're some style of evil monster. I in simple terms settle for honestly everyone seems to be diverse and that they have the appropriate to unfastened speech, even while that speech offends me. gaining know-how of tolerance is a factor of growing to be up.

Oh my Lord, You mean you had to pray in a country that believes in God. For shame. I am really proud of you

Nope because separation of church and state is not a constitutional requirement. In fact, the constitution kind of speaks against strict separation of church and government.

Unfortunately, you can probably get the ACLU to take this one on. Their attorneys love these kinds of cases.

Yes, it is unconstitutional...and really creepy. I'd move to a new town if I were you.
