Can you legally be kicked out of a restaurant for praying before a meal?...I answered this question on QUORA.

 

Can you legally be kicked out of a restaurant for praying before a meal if the people in the table next to you are bothered by your praying and complain to the manager and the manager asks you to leave?

Yes, but it is not the subject matter itself that would be judged by the Legal System, but how the behavior itself was manifested. You have the RIGHT TO PRAY ANYWHERE YOU WANT.
However, you do not have the Right to create a disturbance that a reasonable person would object to, given the TIME, PLACE, and CIRCUMSTANCES.
It may be alright to scream out your devotions in Church, but not in a public area where all Americans expect freedom from the Ill-Mannered and Rude individuals who are disrupting the experience.
Praying at normal conversation tones would and should be tolerated until the words turn into a form of intimidation that crosses the line, either by Volume and/or Content, or disrupts the proceedings that prevent others from receiving the benefits that brought them to such a Meeting, Event, or Learning Experience.
If the manager kicked you out for simply engaging in a Religious Conversation he would be opening himself up for Legal Actions that he would find hard to defend in Court.
AGAIN: TIME, PLACE, CIRCUMSTANCES.
