Equal Respect v. Being an Asshole

Justice Kagan in her dissent involving town meeting invocations cited their legitimate reach: “speak of the depths of [one’s] life, of the source of [one’s] being, of [one’s] ultimate concern, of what [one] take[s] seriously without any reservation.”

Various governmental bodies include non-theistic invocations, but some people want to be assholes about it. Pure separation of church and state in practice won't happen for various reasons, but equal respect at least should be our goal. This works both ways -- have seen some liberals scornful of "religion" and I understand given how it is weaponized to harm (a few simply are skeptics). But, allies come in all shapes and equal respect should be our rule.
