| Message | Mr. Speaker, What of the religious freedom of atheists, agnostics and religious minorities who probably do not want to be involved in the worship of religious majorities? They too have religious freedom, which by the way includes freedom from religion. School-prayer will not be outlawed; it will be restricted to where it is appropriate--in avowedly religious schools.
