I can see your plank from here pal.

If I can't pray in a court house, am I free? I don't even pray a lot publicly, or do I particularly care for it. I am just concerned about the freedom of doing it.
I asked this once a long time ago, perhaps you can answer me. Where do the schools/courts/businesses get their Acme Prayer Detector 5000s? I've been to all the local electronic and hardware stores, nobody seems to know what I am talking about. When I explain to them I am looking for a device to psychically detect prayer of all kinds, they give me a generally odd look.
You aren't afraid of being unable to pray, because there's really no possible way we can stop you from doing that. What you are afraid of is being told you can't make other people pray, or make them respect and honor your prayer/deity.
If I am off on this, I am open to hearing how your ability to pray is being infringed upon, because using your example of a court house, it ain't. Even if the country became an Atheist Nation, how the hell would someone
stop you from praying to any God?
As far as Atheism being taught in school, that's pure baloney. Please show where this has been done and condoned/allowed/praised, outside of a Comparative Religion course or something similar. It was almost 20 years ago, but I don't remember any "There is no God" in my classes and I took upper level college prep courses.
