The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
The government cannot establish or favor any religion. It cannot stop people from worshipping the way they want.
As a retired public school teacher, I'm amused at the furor about praying in school. Of course people pray in schools. Students ask God to help them pass a test. Many say a silent grace before eating. Teachers sometimes pray for patience. All of this is legal. Prayer becomes illegal when the teacher leads a prayer out loud.
