By that you mean the principles of Deists, like Washington and Jefferson? Would you seriously contend that Jefferson ever prayed to the god of the old testament? What principles are you speaking of? Equality? I don't find that in the bible except for words attributed to Jesus that are at odds with the rest of it. Then there is that thing, "where two or more are gathered in my name". Morning sessions in one's place of work, when you are the boss, aren't necessary. It detracts nothing if one finds them not fitting. Meet outside, beside a tree.

Yet another reason to recognize that the environment in D.C. has become, over the years, more and more inimicable to the fundamental principles on which our nation was built and grew strong.
