So? The 1st Amendment regarding religion means two simple things: government cannot impose religious practices upon people and it cannot interfere with it.

Perhaps to you, a prayer is a massive intrusion. To me in this case its a respectful observance of the will of the majority that does NOT intrude upon anyone. There is no compulsion to participate.

And finally, I'm pretty sure that the 2nd Amendment says that "Congress shall make NO LAW..." This is not about any law. But if it were banned, it would be a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment.
