when someone has to be dissatisfied, "majority rules" is a good guideline
Dropping a moment of silence causes no problem to the religous since they can pray anyway. The problem is, it is not the praying that is the goal (even though that is stated as the goal) ,the goal is to make the non-prayer be humbled before they prayer. No other goal makes sense since a prayer can be thought or uttered regardless of the surroundings. The moment of silence is an official sponsored way to make the non-prayer subservient to the prayer, and that's what makes it unconstitutional and illegal. If the matter was really that some people wanted to pray before a game the issue would never arise, because it never would be known. It is not valid to say Majority Rules to invoke an unconstitutional breach in the religion-state separation. It is an important issue to prevent a theocracy.
