That's why I'm annoyed with all this pressure to totally secularize our society. Which began with taking prayer out of schools in 1963, and has snowballed from there.
Secularists were concerned that there was peer pressure for atheists to pray.
Now there is pressure for those with religious beliefs to NOT pray, and those who openly practice Christianity, Judaism or whatever are scorned and ridiculed. Conventional wisdom now is that anyone who practices religion is ignorant. And that's wrong. We've become a society with no standards, or at best, moral relativism.
That is not "freedom of religion" that is just the pendulum swinging the other way. Where the pressure now is to NOT have religious beliefs. Or at least not to voice them around your peers.
