What does the 1st Amendment actually say?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Now where exactly in that phrase to you see 'OMG no one is allowed to pray near a government sanctioned event'!!!
This is correct. Same goes for prayer in schools -it wasn't removed, it's simply unconstitutional to do it as a whole, thereby forcing non-religious people to participate in something that they oppose.
I think it's personally offensive if I see a cross or 10 commandments hanging in a court room, but I wouldn't demand someone take them down. I'd probably bitch a little bit, because fuck them, but I'd let it go pretty quickly.
