The war on religion has been raging in the US for quite some time. The Boy Scouts of America have been enduring this fight for quite some time. Time and time again, the US courts have said the BSA is a private organization and can restrict membership on the grounds of believing in God. Then battles went to those who support the BSA. San Diego was sued for allowing the BSA to use public parks. Now the Boy Scouts cannot use public parks because of it "violates" the seperation between church and state. Then came the "Under God" incident in San Fransico. I watched as a democrat lead congess in saying the pledge of Allegiance (on the microphone) and did not say "under God."
NOW someone is suing to keep a minister from prayer at President Bush's.
"Michael Newdow -- best known for trying to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance -- told U.S. District Judge John Bates that allowing an overtly Christian prayer at the Jan. 20 ceremony violates the Constitution by forcing him to accept unwanted religious beliefs."
