It would not have been very popular or even correct, post revolution, to send up prayers for "our king, N."...
That's why I said -- where is the Christ in this!? Religion is used as a political party, not as a following of God. So, a church that doesn't preach or uphold that which Jesus taught is not a church.
Didn't Jesus say "pray for your enemies?" I think if Jesus walked into most churches today and called us hypocrites, we would throw Him out, and probably have Him arrested for disturbing the peace.
