[quote=Anonymous]Too often (and deliberately, I think) 'they don't want public institutions practicing religion' is conflated with 'they don't want religion practiced in public.' For example, when I don't want the 10 commandments on the courthouse lawn or the football coach at the public school making a big show of leading a prayer at the 50 yard line immediately before a game. Those kinds of displays aren't so much acts of piety as they are attempts to mark territory. If the coach is murmuring a prayer on the sideline or the church group wants to gather in the park on a Thursday afternoon, and these things make their lives better, more power to them. [/quote]
