Senate and House of Representitives?

Question

Does Senate still open each session with a prayer is that a tradition that died out with the seperation of church and state?

Answer 1

They still do. The Chaplain of Congress leads each chamber in a simple non-denominational prayer and sometimes, a moment of silence.

Answer 2

There is no law about the seperation of church and state, its a leftist and recent media creation.
I believe they say a prayer without a specific deity, is that a problem?
Our forefathers were religious and we have never technically been a secular state, not at all.
They wanted us to pray, that is a proven fact. In fact our country was created so that we would have the freedom to worship as we choose.
Now, yes we cannot "endorse" a specific religion. Our government does not recommend a specific religion. We have thousands of mosques in our country, and every religion you can imagine, total religious freedom. We are by nature a religious country.
Again, where the sep of church and state is similar to is that our forefathers made specific our government cannot push a religion or force its citizens to practice a specific religion, that is what is akin to the sep of church and state.

Answer 3

I agree with Ed A, who has just given us more proof that there has never been a "separation of church and state" ...... at least not the way that liberals want to define that expression.

Answer 4

How about that!
