You'd have to ask everyone there to see what prayer means to each one. I wouldn't even venture a guess.

Who made the rule that a company chaplain begins every company meeting with a prayer? Is the chaplain a firefighter?

I read you to say that you have surrendered advisory authority over your other duties to the Creator to human authority. That would be a violation of the Savior's admonition not to render your duties to God according to the wishes of Caesar. Would in not?
