Which is precisely why the Christian should have acted like one.
No, it is not. It is a nation where freedom of conscience, not a specific religious faith or philosophy, is the rule.
This was a boorish way to behave, and the clergyman owes an apology.
Agreed from here. When I'm in the midst of people who are INTOLERANT, I leave...(see, even I can be intolerant of intolerance)...I don't spend a lot of time on people who are so blind they cannot see, and so deaf they cannot hear.

This nation was founded on Christian principles by deeply religious people. It is not the same thing as to say that this is a Christian nation. If I am not a Christian --- does not make me a part of this nation?
This nation is founded on Judeo-Christian values and encourages freedom of all religions. The minister could have prayed to the God we share. I doubt you'd be so dismissive if a Muslim said the prayer and Christians and Jews walked out.
