You know...there is no such thing as "Separate of Church and State". Its not in the constitution. Or any founding document. Go read em.
The government isn't supposed to ESTABLISH religion. But its free to pay for as much of it as it wants, as long as its doing so with the majority of the people's consent.
SO if you have a town of 10,000 people, all who believe in one religion (any one), that town is FREE (wow, there's that word again) to have the local government have some sort of religious event or action, like prayer - as long as the PEOPLE (wow again, like we make any difference?) support it.
