Here's why Christopher Hitchen's knows his stuff.
I'm not a particularly religious person, though I do still attend church on occasion just out of pure curiosity, so this topic really intrigued me.
Hitchens is unblushing in his beliefs ( or lack thereof ) while Perkins is a classic conservative Christian - loves only select parts of the Bible and shows abject ignorance to the Constitution and the very real and well documented history of the Founding Fathers. As a friend of mine once mentioned - can any conservative tell you where Thomas Jefferson went to church?
I do, however, have to offer this one caveat. No one is forced to pray, as it's completely voluntary. But it's easy to that this does step on religious freedoms enough to violate the Constitution. As Hitchens rightly pointed out, what about other days of religious prayer? This isn't a strictly "Christian" nation, it's a nation that was designed to be accepting of all religions.

I think it is very funny that this status flying around facebook talks of Obama canceling the NDoP, when his OWN ADMINISTRATION is on the defendant list as well as Bush's. But yet, he's the anti-christ, etc. Like I told a friend of mine, I don't have to have a national prayer day to get me to pray. And if there is any Christian out there that NEEDS it, then they should go to church more often and read their Bible, because they really need some help. Oh and Jefferson was a Deist. I'm more closely aligned with that than "christianity". OH, and furthermore, Judge Crabb DID declare it unconstitutional, but is willing to hear appeals before rendering her ruling.
