National Day Of Prayer

If you put the title in the search bar, you see I have talked about this over the years, and I still share this sentiment: "In a nutshell, the main problem with the National Prayer Day is that it is government-sanctioned religion, which is unconstitutional."

Obama might have toned things down and was less offensive on such issues as compared to Trump, but the bottom line holds. This not about taking God (G-d?) out of the public sphere. Public officials can talk about their faith or the faith of others. It is about an official endorsement, establishment, of specific religious beliefs. Mild or not, this violates the First Amendment and otherwise is a bad idea. We should not have official religious feast days.
