I really get tired of people who are either ignorant of history or attempt to revise it. The founding fathers themselves called for Days of Prayer. Washington and Adams are just two examples. So don't go invoking the Constitution while ignoring the obvious treatment it was afforded by the founders themselves.

There were social difference at the time, and the compositon of the U.S. population was different. Remember that the founding fathers grew up under a government that would drive a dagger through your tongue for blasphemy. I'm concerned that this message that "All true Americans should pray" sends a message that there are many of us who are not "True Americans" - like somehow we're second class citizens or something in our own country. The government should govern. Leave all else to the people.
