Someone using your screen name posted this: “Nonsense, in any such (constitutional) convention solid majorities would agree the Lord’s Prayer belongs in the Bible and in Church, but not directly in the U.S. Constitution.”

You are way behind the herd.

The Lord’s Prayer begins: “Our Father . . .”

If you knew the blue state culture you promote you would know members of any future constitutional convention would never agree to patriotic or patriarchal language.

When nominal Christian churches are tossing The Word you can’t expect blue state representatives to do more.

They would all agree with our Founders that such prayers, however translated, do not belong, directly, in the U.S. Constitution.
As to which version of such prayers would be used in the various churches, they would all agree such matters are left to the churches themselves.

As for promoting "blue state culture", you should travel outside your mother's basement more often.
If you did, you'd soon learn there is a pretty uniform "culture" -- rural, small town, even suburban, family oriented, traditional, small business, relatively low income but higher wealth, community focus, neighborly & religious -- typically Republicans.
And there is another "culture" centered in big cities -- urban, cosmopolitan, multicultural, big business, big government, welfare dependent, high crime, relatively higher income but lower average wealth -- typically Democrats.

So it has nothing to do with "red state" or "blue state" and everything to do with more urban vs. more rural, anywhere in the country.
