From CNA:
A federal court has rejected of a lawsuit that sought to remove President Barack Obama’s right to proclaim the National Day of Prayer.
Kevin Theriot, senior counsel at the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Alliance Defense Fund legal group, praised the decision.
“Public officials should be able to participate in public prayer activities just as America’s founders did.”…
Hopefully, this will start a tend – the complaint revolves around a claim that if the President of the United States, in his capacity as President, participates in a prayer breakfast, it harms all of those who don’t believe in God. This is an absurd claim, and the court rightly rejected the argument. Now, if we can just get a bit more of this common sense in our debates over State and Church, we’ll be getting somewhere.
For far too long the tiny, bigoted and hate-filled minority of anti-religious fanatics have had things all their own way in the courts – all it takes is just a complaint and, usually, everyone knuckles under. Fortunately, groups like the Alliance Defense Fund were created and now there are people who will stand up and fight against such idiocy. We might even get to a point where Christians are able to fully and freely practice their religion in the public square they pay for.
