Serious question. I have seen so many things about prayers in public schools etc.


The US is not homogenous. My understanding is that prayer is not an issue in most public schools;it's unlawful,thanks to Madalyn Murray O'Hare.

Parts of the Southern States for example have a high proportion of batshit crazy religious right, parts of Southern Calilfornia have a lot of people who are just batshit crazy. Parts of New York have a lot of people who think churlishness is a dandy way to behave in public etc,etc.etc

The US is a secular country,which is to say not a theocracy,such as countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran.I think it gets confusing sometimes because the lobby of the lunar religious right has far more political power than it should have. (which is none)

Quote:Madalyn Murray O'Hair (April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995) was an American atheist activist, and founder of the organization American Atheists and its president from 1963 to 1986. One of her sons, Jon Garth Murray, was the president of the organization from 1986 to 1995, while she remained de facto president during these nine years[citation needed].

She is best known for the Murray v. Curlett lawsuit, which led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling ending government-sponsored prayer in American public schools. O'Hair later founded American Atheists and became so controversial that in 1964 Life magazine referred to her as "the most hated woman in America."[1][2]
