in neither case did I feel that either party was acting out of a love for their alternative religion , or out of a desire to preserve religious diversity, but in an attempt to push their views into the faces of the majority present and outrage or hurt them

That is interesting but not relevant. You cannot extrapolate from your own experience and use that limited experience to deny one religion the rights enjoyed by others.

God in heaven, man, I have to run my brain into exegetical overdrive to get from "I doubt the motives of some who pray in public" to "Therefore, I intend to deny them the right to their religion." I am Christian, and I doubt the motives of many Christians who pray in public.

I was--or had thought I was--commenting on individual motives, not the constitutionality of their actions. It seems that it's getting harder for people to distinguish between the two.
