I don't know if this helps. It might get you separated from the group dynamic.
You should have the right not to have to listen to someone else's beliefs. You could say that the group prayer or sermon is offensive to your personal beliefs (which is actually true, isn't it?). Mixing in other religions doesn't fix that. Your beliefs are your own and personal. Just as you (should) respect the religious beliefs of others in the workplace, the respect runs two ways. You shouldn't be forced to participate in religious practices that you do not agree with.
