I am not a big religious follower, but I still believe that
everyone has a right to express there religious belief. I will state that it is
not best to mix the government branches with religion, but the government should
still be help to high morals and standards. This way the government, and its branches do
not offend anyone, but they are still held to high expectations.
“The Supreme Court is wrestling with the appropriate role
for religion in government in a case involving prayers at the start of a New
York town's council meetings.
The justices engaged in a lively give-and-take Wednesday
that highlighted the sensitive nature of offering religious invocations in
public proceedings that don't appeal to everyone and of governments' efforts to
police the practice
The court is weighing a federal appeals court ruling that
said the Rochester suburb of Greece, N.Y., violated the Constitution because
nearly every prayer in an 11-year span was overtly Christian.
Greece is being backed by the Obama administration and many
social and religious conservative groups in arguing that the court settled this
issue 30 years ago when it held that an opening prayer is part of the nation's
fabric and not a violation of the First Amendment. Some of those groups want
the court to go further and get rid of legal rules that tend to rein in
religious expression in the public sphere.”
