But then, we also have to protect the child whose parents don't believe in any god, or a different manifestation, from the same kind of pressure. >>The judgement criterion is, can some action be perceived as a demand others submit to some unseen imagined gun at the head, then it is.<< Those words are from Watson. You might get the impression that he understands how wrong it is to hold that gun. I guess for some it all depends on which direction the gun is pointing. As long as it's the Christians pointing the gun at children, it's OK.

It should not be a case of national law. It is not a case of anyone being forced to accept. All are free to chose. A coach as part of his authority is free to chose. You seem to wish to force your intolerance of diversity. There are many things that would force me to pull a child from any team and that is America. And the thought one must protect others children from God in general is dumber than a bag of hammers. Children who play sports are in far more danger from parents, their own and others than any prayer to any God.
