The city of Greece NY goes before the Supreme Court today to argue that their policy of praying before city council meetings is not discriminatory because anyone -- even the atheist who sued them -- can offer the prayer.

What would an atheist's prayer look like?
Quote :
Dear assembled council members,
We are assembled here to govern as individuals, to use our wisdom to guide the lives of others. It is incumbent on us therefore to be as intelligent and realistic as possible, to face situations considering only the facts and their human consequences. We must not speculate about things unseen and unknowable, we must not let make-believe entities cloud our judgement, we must not use ideology as an alternative to reasoned debate. Please open your eyes, please consider the common good and please let your highest powers of reason prevail.
Amen.
