They think the history shows that we’re a Christian Nation. The Supreme Court has even agreed, all because of a prayer at the Continental Congress back in 1774. It’s story time. Because that prayer, which has huge legal implications today, is only the beginning of the tale. Today we’re going to learn about the traitor who gave America prayer. Plus, an interview with American Atheists president Nick Fish about the shocking, yet sound decision to move a major international conference out of the United States.Sen.
