The atheistic group watched 55 invocations online from 2007 to the May 6 council meeting and found that 39 had a reference to Jesus Christ. The group argues that specific mentions of the word "Christ" are a violation of the city’s own policy.

The Pray in Jesus’ Name Project and the Will of God Christian Center both favor allowing religiously specific prayers.
