52. That isn't even a decent try.
The Lemon test isn't applicable to legislation only. If you had even the slightest bit of understanding on this topic, you'd know that it is applied more broadly to ALL government actions--not just legislation. What a half-assed try--'It may represent a governmental establishment of religion, but since it isn't official legislation, it doesn't count.' :rofl:

Hell, read the rest of the Wikipedia article you cited. It references Santa Fe ISD v Doe, in which the Lemon test was applied to pre-game prayer. The decision is definitely pertinent to the topic at hand. If you can't see how, you're as much of a theocrat as Scalia.
