there are a couple of issues...one is whether ANY religion makes any sense, the other being how to deal with the very strict, non-compromise statements of the New Testament, which give ammunition to those who would promote Conservative Christianity as **THE** religion, no matter what the Constitution says.

If one believes in Jesus, and accepts that "I am the way, the truth..."etc...and that "no man comes unto the Father but by ME", (and other narrow statements) then they are sort of compelled to force their religion on others.

Many other religions have a simpler attitude.."We have OUR prophets and Gods, you have yours...we don't argue with YOU unless you make fun of US!"....the USA is supposed to allow free expression of religion, while promoting none..but you'd never know it to hear blessings invoked "in the name of Jesus" for everything from sports events to wars to mall openings!

I get rather annoyed...I'm sure that if there is a God, he can hear your prayers if you do them silently
