I controversially agree, freedom of religion is a fundamental part of the United States’s identity. However, these people could always be praying for terrible things, so there’s a definite duality to this image. That being said, I think that religion can be seen as a mixture of freedom of speech and expression; I believe that this is a human right. Secondly, since I’m assuming that most of you are atheists here, why should you worry about what they are even praying for? If atheism states that there is no all-powerful deity, then this bickering is meaningless. If Christianity and its teachings happen to be true, then it is certain that the Christian God would never be in favor of what’s currently happening. For example, Mark 12:31 states “The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Which is the complete antithesis towards current events. As you can see, both possibilities show that God or not, the current administration is not supported by either.

Ive seen circles like that and it aint praying. I wonder who the lucky guy in the middle is?
GOP bukkake.
Uh. This is absolutely a constitutional freedom. Would y'all be incensed if it was a Muslim congressperson (say, Rashida Tlaib) that was praying? Yeah, they're hypocrites, but get angry about the hypocrisy and the Christian nationalism, not the expressions of religion.
Frankly, is this really the expression of religion? I don't think so. At best, it's the expression of hypocrisy, like anyone praying in public for the show and his personal expression of self-righteousness.
It's still amazing that many Americans are falling for this and are so religion centered. My own brother-in-law is an American pastor and a huge selfish hypocrite.
To all the "not true Christian" chanters: Religion is unfortunately way too broad to interpret in many ways, especially christianity, which is filled with many contradictory views. One can just selectively refer to different translations and/or different chapters on the same issue. Jesus was famous for not forgiving child abusers, but the Old Testament has a chapter about "Menstrual Marriage" (allowing adolescent child marriage).
