Heck, I'm old enough to remember prayer time in my public school classes.

You bet. The Lords Prayer, every day. Of course there was a schism between the Catholics and the Protestants over the last line, "For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever and ever." ... said by the Protestants but not the Catholics. The Protestants felt ultrapious, with heads still bowed, as I can attest, while the Catholics, I presume, felt loftily superior with heads uplifted. Yet, we all got along.

And now every Catholic Church in the USA includes the addendum — for Thine is the — at the end of the Our Father. Our only difference now is that we still say Trespasses, instead of debts.

What, no bloodshed? How utterly civilized of you all.

If something similar were to happen with sunnis and shiites, somebody’d be getting beheaded for their blasphemy.

I was glad when school prayer was ended. Too many kids were making a mockery of it, and some were utilizing interpretations that were not correct for my denomination. Religious ceremony is best kept where it can be sacred.
