A federal appeals court recently delivered a legal victory to House chaplain Father Patrick Conroy, ruling that he could not be ordered to allow a self-described atheist to offer non-religious prayers to the House of Representatives.

The decision—a unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia—stemmed from a case filed by Daniel Barker, a former minister who argued that the House violated the First Amendment when it rejected his request to give a secular invocation as a “guest chaplain.”

Barker spent nearly two decades as a pastor and missionary before he “lost faith in faith” and became an atheist. In his suit, he claimed Conroy “unconstitutionally excluded him” from the guest chaplain program because he is an atheist. Barker is now the co-president of the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

In a written court opinion posted on April 19, Judge David S. Tatel clarified that Barker’s request to give secular prayers was denied because it broke the rules of the House, not because he was an atheist.

“Even though we accept as true Barker’s allegation that Conroy rejected him ‘because he is an atheist,’” Tatel wrote, “The House’s requirement that prayers must be religious nonetheless precludes Barker from doing the very thing he asks us to order Conroy to allow him to do: deliver a secular prayer.”

“We could not order Conroy to allow Barker to deliver a secular invocation because the House permissibly limits the opening prayer to religious prayer. Barker has therefore failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted.”
