That’s the kicker - if we let one religion do it, we have to let them ALL do it, or it appears that we’re favoring this religion over that one. If I have a choice between ALL or NONE, I choose NONE, because I don’t want to see Muslims praying to Mecca in schools, or worshiping Satan.

No we don't - that's a surrender to "tolerance at all costs".
Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values - they can either accept that or move somewhere else.
Like the homosexuals, they are free to do whatever they want out of the public eye - but our societal norm is heterosexual and Judeo-Christian. Deal with it.

Same here if those all the only choices. Any kind of human behavior could by that logic, be called ‘part of a religion’. Eventually, we’ll get this word game of semantics ironed out. Meanwhile No no and NO! The way some colleges protect and promote non-school activites like ‘Sex Week’, we are not that far from some goofball professor from making Pornography into some form of ‘worship’, worthy of school funding. That kind of perversion, they would absolutley love.

Not so! All the First Amendment did was take the question of religion out of the federal jurisdiction, preventing Congress from interfering with state laws regarding the establishment of religion. The so-called Wall of Separation is a lie.

Someone needs to inform 70% of the world’s countries of this startling revelation!

As a Christian, I worship a God that supports free will. Your choice is against free will. In the final days "Every knee shall bow". Let everyone pray according to their own beliefs and let God sort it out later.

You’re right, of course, but a great many here will cry that you’re wrong.

That's actually not very precise. We have to let them participate based on their representation in the population. If they are .0001% of the population, then they would have their name drawn to pray .0001% of the prayers.

The US military has used this proportionate system for years in determining representation of chaplains from the different denominations and religions.

I think people simply have to get over their constitutional phobias about this. There is nothing wrong with favoring Christianity over satanism, islam, or atheism. In fact, it is the right thing to do.

If I have a choice between ALL or NONE, I choose NONE, because I don’t want to see Muslims praying to Mecca in schools, or worshiping Satan.

If you choose "none", YOU will be left with "none" while muslims, satanists and atheists will be running the country. Want america to be ground down under the heels of islam and atheism? Choose "none".

Religion is the key word which I never have liked, my faith is in God via his son Jesus Christ, for some reason most likely planed it has become known as religion.

Maybe the things like this that are taking place will expose religion for what it really means and the true believers will come out of it.
