Reply #33: I know how you feel. I volunteer at the student window

at the same school on Monday mornings. When it's time for the flag salute every person in the office jumps up and salutes while I keep writing passes for kids who are tardy. I've been asked what my "problem" is with the pledge, and I tell them "I have nothing against you saying it." So far that shuts them up.

Optional prayer in a company where a person is being paid to do the job is something else, though. That sounds coersive and grounds for a lawsuit for someone who doesn't attend and ends up suspiciously let go.
