Can you smell the desperation, people?
But let's just parse the logic, for a second: if not praying is an atheist promotion, and praying is a christian one... what activities can actually happen? If you can't pray, and you can't not pray, then the only possible way to avoid the government respecting an established religion would be to have no schools. And, taking the idea to its logical conclusion, no government either, because anything that happens within an official context would therefore be unconstitutional.
Isn't the fact that we never see an atheist in the public sphere saying things quite this stupid and reaching kind of a hint as to who's right, at this point? Fucking A...
