I heard a neat story from a member of our prayer group last night. She is a librarian at a middle school in a nearby public school district. One day last week, a group of kids were in the library when one of them looked around and said, “Hey, we’re all Christians here, aren’t we?” It turns out they were, so they gathered in a circle and prayed the Our Father.

Non-Christians who have delivered prayers include a Jewish layperson, a local Baha'i leader, a Wiccan priestess and an atheist.

So...what did the atheist do? Stand there and be silent for two minutes?

I figured that was what you meant.

Thanks for the ping, BT.

I used to live in Greece, and there were a lot of fruit-cakes living there - seems they’re still there!

As noted, other than strictly Christian leaders have provided opening ‘prayers’, so that point doesn’t hold water. Note also - in the picture NYer shows above, some are kneeling, others standing, and some seated - all in contemplation in their own way. I hope the USSC smacks down the 2nd USCCA!
