[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you have separation of Church and state when Democrats themselves also vote for Democratic candidates that practice religion?  Maybe that's why there is such a weak response against religion infiltrating govt?  Anyone, GOP or Dem, who practices religion will have an internal conflict of interest.  It's like voting for a Dem candidate who is a card carrying member of the NRA while the country desperately needs sensible gun control laws, yet when people vote for Dems who practice religion they are shocked later on and wondering why secularism is in trouble.

No one is against free practice of religion by anyone. It is a government coercing a captive audience to observe the religious practice of someone who has authority over them that is the issue. [/quote]

This had no one coerced to join him in prayer. You really make yourself look silly when you say that![/quote]

Coaches also schedule “voluntary” off-season weight training and running sessions that every player knows are not voluntary but the coach has to say they are voluntary because he can’t require them officially. Voluntary does not mean voluntary when coaches say it.

Even if you do think the prayer is voluntary, players are forced to be there observing his public spectacle of prayer whether they participate or not. He is abusing his government authority in a government place to coerce his captive team. Even if some don’t pray, it is still coercive because declining is as much an unnecessary public spectacle as participating. It is basically making a religious declaration a condition of being on a public school sports team. [/quote]

You are now spouting  your opinion and crap that didn't happen.  
Did you read the arguments of this case?  Do you know anything about it?  
It is clear you don't.  
I don't think you know anything about the decision either.  Other than you don't like it. [/quote]

You are delusional. The coach is a government employee with authority over kids. Everything he does while on the field with his team is not private behavior. This ruling is about the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. This is about whether the 1st Amendment allows a government employee to use his public position to perform a public prayer spectacle to a captive audience over whom he has power. [/quote]
