Gee, are those the only 2 concepts, thanking the atheists or living with the point of intolerance that exists in Iran? as quickly as returned, you have resorted to truly constrained concepts, and that i can not say that I care plenty for the two one. it somewhat is effective which you think of that the atheists have completed some thing besides element arms, act holier-than-thou (till now I joined RDF, i did no longer even comprehend that replaced into achieveable) and act like they have an outstanding information and utilization of such issues as technology, good judgment and rational thought. Have a effective day!

Not hypocritical at all. Prayers in school would be strickty voluntary, if you don.t like it you don't have to do it.
The theocracy in Iran means when the Mullas say hop, you jump - or else, and the or else is left over from the dark ages.

It all depends on what you are talking about. If you are talking about teachers leading prayers reqiring students to participate, then that is hypoctical. If you are talking about allowing students and staff to freely pray when they want to, that is their constitutional right. I'm not a big fan of organized religion myself, but I think that telling people they are not permitted to pray on school grounds violates the free practice clause of the constitution. It is not hypocritical to ask for the freedom to express your beliefs. It is hypocritical for the people to assert that this is a Christian Nation and attempt to pass laws based on religious teachings.

Not at all.
ALLOWING students to VOLUNTARILLY pray in school (or not... the student's CHOICE) is EXACTLY the opposite of a theocracy. Its called RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Ammendment ! to the Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
NO LAW. NO RESTRICTION. FREE EXERCISE.
So stop trying to violate MY rights to religious freedom in holding Christian prayer WHEREVER I WANT.
Stop trying to violate Mohamed's right to religious freedom in holding Islamic prayer wherever he wants.
Stop trying to Violate Ling Wu's religious freedom in whichever religion he wants to follow...

The difference between the freedom to practice the religion of your choice in the quiet moment of silence...and the imposition of strict rules and regulations about how you may dress, act, and think.

2 entirely different things. In Iran the theocracy controls every aspect of life by invoking Sharia law. The US just wants to allow students to pray to whatever Deity they wish, with no interference.
Forced religion, vs freedom of religion
got it?

It isn't--"prayer in schools" is not a theocracy.
Although not religious myself, a little prayer in school never hurt anyone...except those few folks who were already looking for something about which to be upset, anyway.

I don't think it's a good idea to mandate prayer in school, but that's still a far cry from a church-run state.

That's pretty hypocritical. Just because they're two different religions doesn't mean that one is better than the other.
And BTW- Christians, Muslims and Jews all believe in the same God. Seriously, any small amount of actually looking into all three religions and you can come to that conclusion.
PPS- The actual religion of Islam does not encourage, support or mandate violence. The extremists do.
