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.

"grew up under a government that would drive a dagger through your tongue for blasphemy." Well that's a new one on me, and I've read quite a bit about American history and a good portion of the Bible.
We should take comfort in knowing this action can now be done at the local malls.

Our "Leaders" should lead. And that's what he's doing. Do you really think our country is better off today than it was 30 years ago when more people practiced their faith more than they do today?
