Alternate invocations don't go down well in Idaho. Surprise?

From the AP wire via the New York Times, a protest against an invocation that is non-Christian:

At least in parts of Arizona, secular invocations at governmental meetings haven't met with this kind of reaction.

Be sure to read the comments.  One of my favorites was the commenter who asked how it was OK to have a Jewish invocation (non-Christian last I looked) but Hindu is protest-worthy.
