Yes, Jesus admonished worship practiced to be seen, but we just can’t establish His teaching as the way others have to practice their religion. Most groups who call themselves Christian aren’t.

They still have their freedom, though.
Freedom for others to do only what I like is not freedom.
It is slavery

In fact the rule laid down is that there may be no rules.

The Constitution does not refer to any deity but it does spell out that the government can not make rules establishing or forbidding religious exercise:
“respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

Yes, rote prayers are obviously forbidden but telling people they can not follow their religious beliefs is also forbidden. (Obviously human sacrifice would be forbidden for other reasons unrelated to religion, i.e. murder and disturbing teaching to yell at others would be stealing)

I would like to know how to support ALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND.

Do I know you? Do you know me? Please don’t assume to know my beliefs and intentions. I have respectfully stood to the side during evening prayers, and the very same co-worker paused their conversation for me to pray over my meal. It is called respect. Try it sometime, it can be addicting.

I borrow the words of Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the LIFE…
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

As a military member, there are certain things I cannot say or do publicly while in uniform, lest I give an impression that I represent the military as a whole. Same as when in uniform as a police officer. I voluntarily entered both of those agencies. If I can no longer abide by those restrictions, I can leave, at least when my commitment is up.

If a teacher can not in good conscience, abide by the restrictions of teaching in a public school, they can apply to a Christian or other religious school, or not teach. Just because they don’t like the options available, doesn’t mean the rest of society should change to accommodate them. Part of living in a free society, where every one can live their private life according their conscience, means keeping some aspects of their lives out of their public occupations. Christians have gotten a free pass on this for a very long time in this country, and are now acting like a spoiled child who now has to follow the rules everyone else already lives by. Forgive me if I am unable to shed any tears.

And if you think that this country was founded as a Christian nation, check your history. The vast majority of our founding fathers were not Christians. Some were deists and others were atheists. Remember that Ben Franklin said, “Lighthouses are more useful than churches.” Need more?

James Madison wrote, “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.”

In a letter to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams wrote, “I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved– the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!”

And Jefferson himself wrote, “Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.”

Our founding fathers had seen the horrors that a connection between the church and the state had brought to Europe and wanted no part of it. They wanted to protect the churches from the government as much as protecting the government from the churches. It’s a double-edged sword.

Again, if you ever find yourself in the minority, you’ll be glad that this protection exists.
