Iowa City Regrets Religious Liberty Law After Satanic Council 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 group. After a Satanic invocation was delivered at a meeting, members reportedly debated how and when to undo what one called a curse placed on the city. The episode has drawn wide attention as an example of unintended consequences from broad religious freedom protections.

Why now: The immediate, ironic backfire of the law after a Satanic prayer is amusing and raises questions about religious liberty rules.
