Horseshit. If you think Matthew 6:5-6 isn't specifically addressing the types of prayer engaged in before civic events then those passages serve no purpose. I think you understand this.
Your inability to grasp that they are hypocrites precisely because they pray in public is really annoying. I take this to mean you understand what these passages state, but don't like the implications leading you to be intentionally difficult. The other option is that you genuinely struggle with reading comprehension; I seriously doubt this is the case.
