The Unconstitutionality of the National Day of Prayer  

Even though I am not a religious person, I believe fully in a person's right to practice whatever religion they wish. I'm not offended by the practice of religion, of hey, if a person wants to pray, then go right ahead; you're not stepping on my toes by praying.
However, there is a line that should not be crossed when it comes to religion, and that line is drawn in the first amendment with this clause:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free excercise thereof..."

Wanna pray? That's cool, do it wherever and whenever you want. However, this is America, and you do not need a governmentally endorsed day to pray to whatever God or philosophical force you worship. Somehow, though, good ol' Harry S. Truman thought is was necessary to sign a specific day of prayer into a law for the United States back in 1952. It's not enough that you can drop down to your knees and pray to (insert deity here) any time you want...somehow the U.S needed an actual government endorsed day of prayer.

The problem is, the government isn't supposed to make laws concerning religion, period. It should neither restrict nor endorse any religion or religions. Yet despite this rule that was set by our American forefathers in 1787, America had to go and make a law respecting the establishment of several religions...and somehow this has gone unchanged for over 50 years.

If U.S. citizens want to pray, then they have every right to do it whenever and wherever they want - this is guaranteed by the first amendment. So why is the government violating this same amendment by signing into law a national day of prayer?
