Upholding separation of church and state equates to a theocracy

RE: Upholding separation of church and state equates to a theocracy
But once again....the Law of Unintended Consequences is a cast-iron bitch.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/09/fl...ic-prayer/


Quote:Less than three days after the Supreme Court ruled in Town of Greece v. Galloway that prayers before town meetings did not violate the Constitution’s ban on endorsing religion, a self-styled Satanist in Deerfield Beach, Florida has asked city officials to let him open a meeting with a Satanic prayer.

Quote:“I just want equal billing. We allow various religious nutjobs to give a prayer. They pray to Jesus who is make-believe, god who is make-believe, why not Satan who is make-believe?”

“Why discriminate against one make-believe god over another?
