I agree. An old testament reference would have been more suitable. This is a country founded on Judeo-Christain principles. Prayers made in a government setting should not offend either the Jewish or Christain religion.

This is a country founded on Judeo-Christain principles.

This is a country founded out of the Enlightenment, by Frreemasons and Secular Humanists who used Christianity just as Carl Marx, who was never original, later realized as a means of keeping the common people in their place.
We did not have universal sufferage, and Christianity was never taken seriously by the upper class property owners that had the vote, except for a minority of New Englanders.

It didn't become fashionable for educated people to be religious until the Victorian era.

[Just mythoughts]

I keep hearing that phrase being use "Judeo-Christian principles". When exactly did that phrase become in existence?

To require one to ignore Christ is by government officials is against the Constitution. Government is not to determine ones beliefs.

Why is it ok for Christians to be told what is ok and not to believe? To say and not to say? Whom to pray to and not to? Christians are not second class citizens.

Looks like the offence was to Christians from government.
