No, the thing is, per the Constitution, the government cannot play favorites, so they are stuck either acknowledging everything, or nothing, basically. The reason these atheists are doing the trolling is because certain Christians feel the need to do these public prayers to begin with. If they could just not do prayers as part of official business, this wouldn't be an issue - there would be no prayers to satan or Beyonce, or anyone else, but since some of you are butthurt about not being able to pray to your deity of choice as part of official business, they're allowed to do the same. Which in my view is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Compare:
"Hey, right-winger! You want free speech? I'm allowed to stand outside your house 24/7 with a megaphone shouting that your wife is a whore, and heckle your children as they walk to school! That's free speech, too! Ha ha ha!"
There is reasonable application, and there is abuse that becomes a violation. And your argument here is pretty much equivalent to "if you don't want hecklers harrassing your family forever, you should just never say 'bigoted' things the lefties hate again".
You shouldn't allow trolls to hijack society.
