Thank God that in the US prayer in public is a protected right. Whether it offends anyone or not, US citizens have the right to pray in public.
​
Thank God that in the US Governmental enforced prayer is forbidden. Whether or not it is offensive to have a prayer in public school to start the day, it is illegal.

Re: Critical Thinking
Theistic thought is wisdom and love, not science.
​
What does that even mean?

Re: Critical Thinking

​
I see that it is words arranged in some order and ended with a period. But what is theistic thought?
​
Why would theistic thought be either wisdom or love?

devil is in the details...as usual
Praying at a government function also does not force you to participate. Again, the majority rules only apply when it supports your position.
​
It all depends on who is doing the praying. As long as it is not the Government sanctioning and endorsing the prayer and it is simply a citizen doing the praying it should be legal in the US to pray at an government function.
​
And while you are right, a lot of Christians would get their feathers ruffled by an Imam opening a governmental function I think it would be great.
​
The National Cathedral in DC often has clerics from other faiths not just attend but rather perform services, give talks and lectures and teach classes on their religion.
