Freedom from religion isn’t in the U.S.Constitution. What this judge has done violates, literally, our rights.

If you don’t want to pray, then don’t. If you don’t like someone’s religous message, walk away, run away or ignore it. What you can’t do is tell them to shut up!

Islam, IMHO however, has major tenets that are patently unconstitutional. No more of its adherents should be allowed to immigrate into the United States. Those Muslims already here should have their politiical activities proscribed.

If you don’t want to pray, then don’t.

And if you do want to pray, then do.

I've never understood why believers want to get government involved in religion in any way except upholding people's right to practice the one they choose. What kind of believer wants the government telling them this or that is a day of prayer? The whole concept goes against the conservative idea of getting government off our backs.

If the government has a right to declare a day of prayer, what other rights does it have in terms of dictating religious practices?
