Ban council prayer?

If anybody ever needed prayers, then surely it has to be politicians but ...

'Town councillors in Bideford, North Devon, have been told that their prayers could fall foul of the Race Relations Act.
They have also been warned that they might attract an action under the Human Rights Act.
Many councillors are outraged by the advice from the National Association of Local Councils and claim it is yet another attempt to remove Christian traditions from public life.
Prayers have been said at Bideford council meetings since the town was awarded a charter by Queen Elizabeth in 1573.'


I despair.
