The Town of Greece which was the vs in the Supreme Court case has now made a rule that you must be from a recognized religion.

They had the sm as atheist speak already.

I certainly have no problem with the Town's prerequisite. In fact, it's common sense.

Atheists hate religion so much, but yet they copy everything from it.

"WHO do atheists pray to?"

Good question. A lot of the were praying to Obama, but I think they lost the faith.

"Saying that legislative prayer is a governmental endorsement of a particular religious belief "mis-frames" the argument, asserts the legal group."

But saying a legislative prayer is an endorsement of the belief in nothing! Perfect for any politician! lol

Exactly. If you pray to someone/something, then you view that someone/something as a god.

If you pray to no one, then you are just talking to yourself.

Pretty much like the drunk homeless guy on a park bench.

This totally shoots in the foot the argument that atheism is about not collecting stamps! Since when do non-stamp collecters demand they be allowed to pray to no stamps at a stamp collecting convention

The drunk has an excuse... HE’S drunk.

I don’t know what kind of an excuse atheists have.

Recently happened in Sioux Falls. I too am perplexed as to what an atheists “prayer” would be.. I suppose readings from Saul Alinsky or Marx would qualify.

Nothing. Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.
