If they threaten any action for doing so, let them know you will have no choice but to contact the EEOC or some other organization designed to protect your workplace rights. It's one thing to have these little prayer meetings, it's quite another to force you to attend.
I have thought of doing this. It is near the start of the meeting, but I could get up and leave for awhile. I talked of doing this to a co-worker who thought I would regret it. They couldn't do anything to me overtly related to my action (I don't think), but they could target me in a way that I couldn't prove was connected. I guess I have to decide if taking a stand is worth risking my job. I have also thought about sending an anonymous complaint to HR.
