MSB, I am not a non-believer, if you mean believer in Christianity. I am a practicing Catholic. I also believe in the separation of church and state, which happens to be the law.

Since you seem to at least be reading what we write, let me ask you a question: What is the purpose to be served by public prayer in school? Everyone is able to pray if they want to, I do it all the time, but I don't pray out loud except in my car. My children know how to pray, and I assume that everyone who is in favor of prayer in school has taught their children to pray.

My thought is that prayer in school is intended to reach "Them", the kids whose mothers and fathers didn't teach them to pray, in the hope of Christianizing them before it's too late. What do you think about it?
