Clergy from several denominations are scheduled to pray at the opening and closing of each day's sessions of the party conventions. The tradition of such prayers goes back more than 100 years.
We have something in our constitution called the Establishment Clause also known as our wall of separation between church and state. I call it our wall of separation between religious insanity and our government. It's the first clause of the first amendment of our Bill of Rights and despite its importance it is constantly being ignored so politicians can show off how holy they are.
I don't see much difference between the United States of Jeebus and theocratic Iran.
Come on Americans. If you're too bloody stupid and too cowardly to grow up, at least have the decency to not stick your god fairy disease into everyone else's face. Keep your childish fantasies to yourselves.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
