Is the "Lord's Prayer" Christian, and other concerns

RE: Is the "Lord's Prayer" Christian, and other concerns
How can this be anything but a blatant violation of the Establishment Clause? First the stupid courts ruled that "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is devoid of any religious meaning, now lawyers are trying to claim that the "Our Father" prayer is not Christian? What a bunch of bullshit.

Frankly, the Establishment Clause says there will be no establishment of religion period, not "you can pray before public meetings as long as it's a non-denominational, all-inclusive prayer." They shouldn't even be having a prayer before a city or county council meeting. After all, what is a prayer? It's talking to a god, which is a religion.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
