Some years back I saw something on the interwebs that dealt with this, showing the different prayers that different groups pray. Done in a humorous way. Alas, I can't seem to find it any more.

I was in grade school in the 1950s when we had prayer in public school, and even at that young age, young Catholic that I was, it enraged me that we had the Protestant version of the Lord's Prayer. And I always wondered why we couldn't ever say a good Hail Mary.

And I was in a rural school where, to the very best of my knowledge, there was no one who wasn't some version of Christian.

I despise it when secular things, like Boy Scouts, start a meeting with a prayer. Or even the Pledge of Allegiance.

Where is Madelyn Murray when we need her?
