The post you are reporting:
Chris, in Bideford and many other English Councils, the councillors have been holding prayers in the chamber at the start of meetings for centuries. The people who vote for them know this and therefore, yes, they are voted in order to continue following these Christian customs while going about their duty.
As I have stated already, Bideford Town Council voted to continue their custom, and after the infamous court ruling, many English councils proclaimed they would go ahead with their Christian prayers as before.
So Chris, it is not up for anyone to force these people to stop their practices of Faith within the chamber and at the start of meetings, because they have decided they want it that way.
Those who wish to abstain from the prayers are allowed to.
It is not reasonable to suggest that a councillor who turns up at, say, 8 o'clock for a meeting, is loosing time because they have to wait a few minutes for the prayers to end.
They can also turn up at 8.05, once they know that the prayers last five minutes, or at 8.10, if they know the prayers last ten minutes.
They will no doubt have been informed how long prayers last.
Because this is reasonable, British Law by sacred tradition will not tolerate a tyrannical court ruling that asserts something that is unreasonable and deliberately intent on reducing other people's liberties and rights to worship God.
