The Supreme Court would risk more than legitimacy by imposing Christian nationalism

[BidenPresident]

If it seems like back to the future, you’re right. School prayer was struck down by the court in 1962. Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. Decades of precedent supporting the proposition that the state cannot compel religious practice or legislate according to one faith could be gone by this summer.

The arrogance of justices who imagine there is such a thing as plain vanilla prayer — as though certain religions don’t have specific, distinct practices for prayer — is quite striking. “A football coach leading prayer? As American as apple pie!” those defending school prayer might say. “Besides, kids don’t have to follow along!” Unless, of course, they are afraid of being ostracized, insulted or possibly losing playing time.

There are 3000 recognized religions in America. If we allowed schools to impose their religions, then Dearborn would have Islam taught, and the bells for a call to prayer would be installed. How would the Christians and other religions' kids like that? Christians could buy prayer mats and pray to Mecca every day.
Maybe a local school would install snake-handling version of Christianity. That would please rightys who want religions to rule.
Public schools should not have an established religion. Those who established our system were right.

Agree. I think the Const. is clear in neither promoting a religion or denying its practice.

so athletes should be able to pray before a game if they want.

They? The fact is a large chunk of the founders were deists and atheists. That is a characteristic of intelligent people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Faiths_of_the_Founding_Fathers read the first amendment that precludes religion in our laws and schools.

Far and away, the Rastafarians would be the most popular

the government may not make a rule either way.

not allowing athletes to pray before a game actually violates that.

More prayer and fewer dead babies is absolutely scandalous!!

 

[PostmodernProphet]

there is no such thing as "Christian nationalism".......there is only lib'rul ignorance.......

 

[Minister of Truth]

Progs don't like it when it's their religious rituals that are coming under attack.

God's supposed to be everywhere. You can pray to him in the shitter. You can pray in the dugout. Stopping the game to pray is about something else. It is Christianity shoved in your face. Watch me pray. Aren't I terrific?

Dems broke the Court when they passed Dred Scott v Sandford.
