The U.S. Courts struck down the National Day of Prayer (May 6) last month, citing it as a call to religious action and stating that the government cannot pass laws determining when people should and shouldn’t pray. This falls right in line with what the founding fathers intended.

Not coincidentally, today is also the National Day of Reason, celebrating reason and “raising public awareness about the persistent threat to religious liberty posed by government intrusion into the private sphere of worship.”
So here’s a reasonable response to the situation.
