Freedom From Religion : A Fearless Young Woman Takes a Stand

59. One is not forced in keeping it in church.

One is not prohibited from praying in schools either. They just can't have a time and place to do it. Students can pray on their own as long as it does not interfere in the school functions.

One is not prohibited in praying in public. Just don't make a big deal about it. And don't force others to pray with you. And it is being forced when it is a public gathering of any type that is not religious and made part of the event.

Secular organizations should not feel compelled to have prayers at the start of their gathering. Too many do. And for what purpose? So they are considered as good or better than other organizations?


And you are right. It is not just one person's public school. It is open to everyone regardless of their faith or non-faith. And they should be all treated equally. Forcing others to see a religious element in a public school that is not intended as part of a legitimate class does not provide a school to all students attending. The school that includes a specific religion in their setting does harm to the other students and fails in treating all students the same in a public school setting.
