Comment on US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoThe Constitution doesn’t give us freedom OF religion, it guarantees freedom FROM religion. People can have any religion they want, the government just can’t allow it to influence government in any way.

This is only partially true, as the First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” As you can see, practice of religion is not prohibited. My main point is that prayer will probably not have any meaningful impact on the success of immoral decisions.

Valid point. I added the word [just] to my post to clarify.
