The founders gave us a blueprint by which to build and govern a nation that respects the individual balancing that against the public good.

We have to use it wisely. And while I don't like the idea of every religion under the sun offering prayers at our public meetings, I don't think you can just restrict such prayers to Christians.

I'm still waiting to read a response that would explain to any person of a non-Christian faith why their prayer cannot be said at public meeting but mine can.

Just because someone claims to follow another faith doesn't mean that we can recognize it as a religion. Wicca is one that clearly fails that test in our society.
