City To Allow Only Prayers [View all]

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/09/city-allow-only-christian-prayer-screw


Knowing that the Supreme Court currently has a conservative slant, those who would turn America into a Christian theocracy have consistently been pressing their luck to see what they can get away with. In 2014, they were able to get five Supreme Court Justices to ignore the separation of church and state by allowing prayer before government meetings, and one city is now pushing even further to allow only Christian prayer.

Separation of Church and State Void in Coolidge AZ

There are seven individuals on the city council of Coolidge, AZ. On Sept. 14, with one of these members absent, the council voted 4-2 to change a resolution that would allow prayer before their council meetings. They didn't change this resolution to restrict prayer and uphold the First Amendment, though. Instead, they voted to allow prayers from only those of the Christian faith.
