"The government is supposed to be totally non-discriminatory when it comes to religion and religious preference."

This includes being totally non-discriminatory AGAINST religion. It is hard to implement, I agree. As we keep hearing, Atheists want protection using first amendment grounds of freedom of religion. At the same time, they claim not to be a religion in which case this does not apply to them. If they get protection they are a religion and others deserve the same protections. If the government is "non-religious", that would be Atheist. Enforcing atheism is enforcing this brand of religion or is against religion and religious practices.
People should not be forced to pray if they do not chose to. They can be forced to be polite and observe a moment of silence to let those who wish to pray to do so. That is a reasonable compromise to my mind.
