You don't have the "freedom" to be insulting to others when you are a legislator. You represent all your constituents, not just those with whose religious tenets you agree.
You are, when you state that an elected representative does not have the right to "protest" by not attending a prayer which he does not want to hear.
If the constituents don't like his / her actions, they will remove him / her.
Re: Spurious: it was you who claimed bigotry, I simply stated that, as an extension, any others who remained away, or left during a prayer, must be, according to your logic, bigots and must be called upon to resign!
