Rethink that. Instead of a Christian prayer, Congress faces Mecca
and prays to Allah. Most congressmen are Muslim. Nothing more.

If this were a predominantly Muslim nation, I'd expect that to be normal.
Look, don't misconstrue my argument here. My *only* point was that the
phrase "In God we trust" is not a violation of the anti-establishment clause
of the First Amendment.

You don't think there would be a subtle "tyranny of the majority"
present here, when every day the highest ruling body of the nation
acknwledges its subservience to Allah?

Again, my understanding of the rationality of prayer is not the issue. That
was brought up as an example of violation of the anti-establishment clause -
and it's not.
