[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Christian and an interfaith minister.  I really don’t like it.  I’m from the south and there is prayer before everything.  When we bought a home in Mississippi, the seller asked to open our closing transaction with prayer.

I pray.  I encourage others to pray and/or meditate.  I believe in the power of prayer.  But, I don’t think prayer should ever be on display at a public event.  Not everyone believes in a God.  Not everyone believes in the same God.  And not everyone is comfortable with hypocritical Christianity on display.  [/quote]

I'm not Christian but I like you.

Freedom of religion (including none) is kinda a major founding principle of this country - those with authoritarian tendencies are a clear threat to our current republic.

I am increasingly however in favor of a break-away collection of states with their own tax base, laws and norms of behavior (including no religious freedom).  They can make a big show of praying (and not getting vaccinated to show how they love their neighbor...).   Like Brexit.   We could call it Trexit.
