Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.

you are correct.
that is why the right to pray has never been infringed in this country.

what's that? you want to use the PA system? you want to say your prayer through the bullhorn of the state?

"and when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. verily I say unto you, they have their reward."

[ClancyJ]

So, let me get this straight. There should be no prayer in public - only in private (if one can find something considered by the state to be private).

Let me get this straight - if a bullhorn is owned by the state - no use for prayers? Therefore, if our salaries are taxed by the state/feds, salaries can not be used for donations to religion?

Let me get this straight - roads and streets are public property - does this mean no churches allowed on roads or streets unless they can find "private" streets?

Let me get this straight - the only voices to be heard in America are those that seek to "take away" the rights of others because they are "uncomfortable". The ones having something taken away may be "uncomforable" with the loss but you see - they have no rights in this society. Only those seeking to take away rights from others are listened to.

So, now more and more "belongs" to the government, so more and more cannot acknowledge God - only Allah, Muslim religious practices, wearing of veils?

Just who says so?
