Well, that was inevitable.
Florida Town Must Open Meeting With Satanic Prayer Or Violate Supreme Court Ruling
http://crooksandliars.com/2014/05/florida-town-must-open-meeting-satanic
Given the recent US Supreme Court ruling (City of Greece, NY), I would like to open up a Session with a prayer to my god Satan. Kindly advise me how to seek approval for that.”
“To hold that invocations must be nonsectarian,” wrote Justice Kennedy, “would force the legislatures that sponsor prayers and the courts that are asked to decide these cases to act as supervisors and censors of religious speech, a rule that would involve government in religious matters to a far greater degree than is the case under the town’s current practice of neither editing or approving prayers in advance nor criticizing their content after the fact.”
In other words, prayer may glorify a particular god–including the Dark One.
We look forward to seeing Lord Lucifer uplifted in prayer in public meetings across the country.

Harder to fend off will be the earnest believers who will take the Supreme Court at its word. It may well lead to the elimination of opening prayers in comparable circumstances, as Christian-majority populations take the only constitutional option they have to prevent non-Christian prayers from being recited.
