Iowa City Regrets Religious Liberty Law After Satanic Prayer
Original: 'It Is Done. Hail Satan:' City Immediately Regrets New Religious Liberty Law That Allows Prayer at City Council Meeting
An Iowa city council is dealing with the fallout of a new religious liberty law that opened council meetings to prayer from any faith. Immediately after it took effect, a Satanic invocation was delivered, prompting one council member to debate the proper point in the agenda to 'undo the curse that was just put on our city.' The incident has reignited debate over broad religious freedom protections and the establishment clause.
Why now: The satirical backlash was immediate and unexpected, illustrating how broad religious liberty laws can invite unwelcome religious expressions.
