The post you are reporting:
Jan, the Our Father is the same for all Christians. In the case mentioned, I don't think there was any hint of people of different religion, so the prayers must have been Christian. Other religions simply did not come into that court case.
So it is necessary, in such a procedure, to keep to the facts presented to the court. It was not a Muslim or a Hindu who brought a case against Christian prayers, but a British atheist. Personally I have never heard of Muslims or Hindus or Jews taking any pleasure in British atheists speaking out against Christianity in Britain "in the name of different religions".
Atheists often play the "intolerance card towards other religions", when making their case against Christian customs, but in reality, they are only venting their own personal hatred of ALL religions and forms of faith in God.
You will find, Jan, that in such cases where people of different religions, and by this I mean Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Bhudists, do associate, they will ALWAYS work out an agreement that each group say their own prayers in their own time and without hindrance.
Any Muslim, or Jew, or person of any other religion, knows full well that once an atheist bans Christianity, they will next ban Islam, and the Sabbath, and all Hindu and Bhudist forms of worship.
As for prayers that are not religious, that is, have nothing to do with a faith in God, they simply do not exist, never have, and never will.
But I think the point was, that these prayers were prior to the official proceedings, and that any council member attending the meeting was not obliged to attend the prayers.
But the argument did end up in court, and ended up with a sentence that now shall be used nationwide to make prayers illegal.
It starts in councils, but may soon be spread to all schools, and to any form of public celebration.
There's only one thing, though, Jan. Such a law, in order not to be racially discriminatory, MUST then be applied to ALL religions. And that is when you will see people of ALL forms of faith in God unite to protest.
So hopefully this absurd court ruling will be overturned, and Parliament will make a precise law that bans atheists from venting their hatred on people who pray to God.
