Yes and no. Yes, if an individual wants to 'pray' s/he should be allowed to pray anywhere ... as long as this 'prayer' does not 'stop or interfere in' the regular business of that place. No, if you mean should 'prayer groups' be allowed to pray together, and especially no if that prayer is 'required' to be addressed to a 'particular religions god' or if that prayer interferes with the 'regular business' of that place. That is LAW from the Constitution of the United States of America, and I think that it is an 'excellent law' since our 'government' is set up to be 'totally separate from religion' ... ANY and ALL religions, by the way.

i think that if someone wants to pray they shoudl have the right to. WHICH THEY DO.
for example:
in a school setting, prayer IS allowed as long as it is a STUDENT who initiates it and not a teacher or administrator, ETC. And as long as that student does not PRESSURE anyone to join (they can ask if someone wants to join them but not try to force or guilt someone to do it).
My response to what Ichthyic said:
what is the point of praying if one feels one should not close one's eyes? Not that it matters whether one
does or doesn't, but if one feels that one has to so that no one can say anything, I feel that the prayer is pointless because it shows that one is embarassed that they are praying in public.

The constitution (the First Amendment) guarantees this right! The separation of church and state principle means the govt. cannot force you to pray ... but it also means it cannot prohibit you from praying (even on govt. property). Sadly, the secularists control the judiciary, so our constitutionally guaranteed rights mean little.

yes it is freedom of speech why should someone tell another they cannot pray just because they do not share their views,We have a right to pray where ever we may be,as long as someone is not forcing another and trying to impose their beliefs on them why would it matter if someone prays

People can pray whether it's allowed or not, that's the beauty of it.
