... and therefore there is no reason to deprive the majority of an activity that seems fitted to the occasion.

And what kind of benediction would have been "fitting"? Maybe Fred Smart's? Yeah, his brand of religion would be loved by everyone. Deprive the majority of an activity? Nobody deprived them. Everyone there could have said a silent prayer if they wanted to. Sound more like you wanted to inflict some religious orthodoxy on the minority (even if I accept that the majority wanted a benediction).

Why is it when I have a religious thought my first impulse is not to make people listen to it but to enjoy it myself or only later, maybe, with others only of like mind? This doesn't seem to be a universal act of consideration though. If I hear anymore about how unempowered our Christian sects are in this country I'm gonna wretch. Try being a Hindu, Buddhist or even a pagan in this country. They have a clue.
