President James Madison proclaimed a day of prayer. He later said such proclamations are not appropriate. "They seem to imply and certainly nourish the erroneous idea of a national religion."
Thomas Jefferson also opposed declarations of national days of prayer by the Federal government.
Almost of the NDP events are conservative Christian. It is not the most inclusive event. The danger is one of establishing a national religion or religious trend. The NDP does not represent every American.
Please keep religion and it's practices out of government, and tax payer funded institutions. We have freedom from religion in this country. I don't want any religion telling me how to live, or teaching my children its vaules. Those things should be taught at home and practiced at home or at a religious organization. If you open the door to one religion, you open the door to all of them!
Bill
