2. So I went back and read all of your previous threads

And In my opinion you are about to miss a golden opportunity handed to you on a silver platter.

So, dig this:

Lie in wait and go along to get along and then politely ask to open the meeting with a prayer. They will think you've come your senses and will more than happily oblige.

Now comes the fun part! Make up your own religion right on the spot, the more absurd the better!

For example, you are (all the sudden) a faithful follower of the holy order of the Waffle. Fire up the ol' waffle iron, have some pre-made batter and commence to cooking! Now you ask the the crowd to lean their heads to the right and close one eye as the prayer begins. Your prayer consists of you singing the theme from "Barnaby Jones" in the most absolutely annoying screeching voice you can manage. Ding! The waffle is done. Grab it an throw it like a frisbee while pronouncing "Fly, my unfettered breakfast breakfast bread spawn!!!!!" End the prayer by having an extra flamboyant drag queen banging a small gong.

The possibilities are endless!

With any luck they will come to their senses and realize that having a prayer at the beginning of a city council meeting is a big damn can of worms and it applies to *all* religions.
