Might as well hang up a sign: Atheists, Jew, Muslims and the rest of you not welcome.

Quickest way to have them backtrack would be to crack open a Qu'ran or start reciting a pagan prayer.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.-- Matthew 6:5.

Do these people not even read their own goddamned book?

UGH. This has me pissed off to no end. This is maybe an hour from where I live, and an ex-boyfriend (sidenote: never date a Republican) who is involved with politics there is rejoicing. eurhfgiewbufg Fucking Constitution, how does it work?

That is exactly the excuse the military uses to do prayers before all-calls and graduation ceremonies. It's awkward and annoying as hell. My husband says the Chaplain will come in and proselytize at them too, but in that sneaky way where they never mention Jesus, so if you object/say anything, you look like the intolerant asshole.
