Freedom of religion as a part of broader concept of freedom of conscience is one of the most precious rights held by the civilized men. First Amendment's Establishment Clause of the Constitution of the United States prevents government at least from establishing federal or state religions, discriminating, aiding or favouring one religion over the other and coercing individuals into religious participation. In 1983 the Supreme Court of the United States carved out an exception for opening state legislative session with a prayer. Based on the historical evidence the Court found that unless there is an indication that the prayer has proselytizing, advancing or disparaging effect, Establishment Clause does not preclude this type of prayer. In 2014 the same practice was upheld on a local government level (town board meetings).
