Watch the two sides go to work.
One side, the judicial banch, will argue that the prayer has nothing to do with Christianity
The other side, the religious citizens, will complain that people are trying to remove Christianity from the government.
Both sides are Christians, and both are willing to say or do anything to keep their religion in the government. Words to be twisted? Okay. hypocrisy? Okay. Anything for our Christ. Suggest that a prayer in the new testament in christs own words is not Christian? Okay...just as long as it stays in the government, the Christians will not consider it an insult if a right wing judge says that the Lords prayer isnt Christian.
Then you have those "dont recite it if it offends you." But, if you DONT stand up and act like you are reciting it, then people WILL point you out of the crowd and they WILL approach you asking why you didnt pray. Why? Because they are offended that you didnt pray their Christian prayer.
"Give us this day our daily bread" = socialism. "Thy will be done" = anti-freewill. "as we forgive those who trespass against us" = Something most Christians will not do. "Lead us not into temptation" = anti-freewill.
