Suppose I say that I belong to the Church of the Hairy Baboon and my religion requires that I visit the baboons in the zoo twice a day, my employer should be required to pay me while I am off at the zoo. Give me a break.

I'm not sure you read this one carefully enough, Rob. Yes, they prayed on the clock, but they prayed during the contractual ten minute breaks in the morning and afternoon. They just spend the breaks praying instead of drinking coffee.
The grievance occurred when the company treated the ones praying differently than it did the ones drinking coffee. The supervisors told them that if they prayed, the would be sent home. Moreover, the company had a contract covering the terms and conditions of employment, and the disciplinary action took place as a result of a unilateral employer change. That is against the law.
