I think you are exaggerating. How many times did that happen? And how many times didn't that happen?Let's see countless Our Fathers, Quite a few Hail Marys and many other pleas and benedictions.Such as?I've had to quite a few times when I was dealing with zoning variances and other bullshit.That's a ridiculous argument for religion is being forced upon you. When you have to sit through a prayer let me know.If these things are done in public forums then everyone is being forced to pay for them one way or another via their taxes.You forgot to add they say God bless you when you sneeze.Public prayer during meetings/ InvocationsHow are those pesky godbotherers forcing their beliefs on others exactly
Restrictions on Sunday business
Adding “One Nation under God” to the pledge
Adding “In God we Trust” to our money
How are any of those things forcing their beliefs on you? Are you being forced to participate? Is someone holding you down and water boarding you until you pray?
Are you being forced to say the pledge of allegiance? Is someone holding a gun to your head?
I can see why you are so upset over those godbotherers forcing you to do all of those things.
I'm pretty sure that since you DON"T believe in God that no one is actually forcing that belief upon you.
Public buildings public funds etc should not be used for religious ceremony.
If you want to pray then you foot the bill for the venue.
Public officials are not paid to lead people in prayer they are paid to do a particular job.
None of which were needed in order for those town officials to do their jobs
Over the 30 years I was dealing with building inspectors and zoning officers it happened a lot.
Excuse me for not taking and keeping an exact tally.
