Right to prayer? ... am i missing something?

This is for all religions right?

And it also allows for non-believers to be excused, right?

So why is it an issue?

I went to a religious school but was excused from all religious assemblies. I had no issue with those wanting to pray and would sometimes go to the assembly.

No idea. if you don't care to pray, don't. its a pretty simple issue in my mind regardless of the religion.

@TwiddlerofThumbs i agree but also if someone does care to pray why would it bother anyone, regardless of the religion?

@BabyLonia I have no idea. Maybe they think it's contagious. I certainly believe that the state and religion need to be separate, but we are people and we are not separate. We are communities. allowing one another to worship as they wish is important.

@TwiddlerofThumbs but then why the motto "In God We Trust"

Is that not also printed on the currency?

@BabyLonia In God we trust, it's more of a tradition than a truth isn't it. a way to preserve “community” alongside “society. I think this has been a countries motto since the mid 50s?

@TwiddlerofThumbs At one point prayer in schools were forced on everyone so people don't want it back.
