The US National Day Of Prayer Must End

"It was in the 1950s that those wishing to define American government with religion made their move. During that decade, notable for staunch anti-communism, McCarthyism, God-and-country nationalism, and a general atmosphere of fear and paranoia, an unprecedented stream of religiosity flowed into public life. The 1950s saw “In God We Trust” become the national motto (1956), “under God” added to the Pledge of Allegiance (1954), the start of the National Prayer Breakfast (1953) and, of course, legislation requiring the president to declare a National Day of Prayer each year (1952)."
