[QUOTE="Jones, post: 573068, member: 4805"] Danny, Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there has been no law passed denying students the right to say a prayer. What has been prohibited is having the school endorse one particular religion or other by, for instance, having teachers or staff lead the students in prayer, or endorsing religion by setting aside a time out of the school day for the students to pray. Students themselves are free to say prayer before a big test, or before their school lunch, or whenever. As far as the influence of atheists, I think you're vastly overestimating it. Every law that has ever been passed in this country has been written by religious, church going congressmen and signed into law by a religious, church going president. No atheist has ever been elected to national office. Every court challenge to the legitimacy of those laws has been ruled on by religious, church going judges. No atheist has ever been appointed to the Supreme Court, nor, at least to my knowledge even to any of the appellate courts. [/QUOTE]
