Right and that’s also meant to make non Christians feel unwelcome.

I watched a clip of an Arizona city meeting, where all the Republicans got up and walked out at the start of an invocation by an atheist.

At that second if I was sitting on that town board, I would have demanded a quorum count, and upon determining the majority of the city council had left, suspended the meeting.

I forget which state it is, but after a Democratic lawmaker (Virginia?) invited an imam to give the opening invocation, the chaplaincy office for the legislature wrote a new rule to prohibit inviting anyone except a leader in your church/mosque/synagogue &c.

That has the effect of banning Muslims and atheists (no Muslim members of the legislature, no atheist members, no atheist organisation ordains ministers).
