QUESTION ‘Prayer Matters’: Atheist Group’s Complaint Over Prayer at Basketball Game Sparks a Bold Response | CBN News

An atheist-led complaint about a routine prayer that was said via loudspeaker at an Ohio high school’s basketball games led more than 100 people to show up donning T-shirts that carried a powerful, two-word response: Prayer matters.

The bold display unfolded after The Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist activist group, complained last month over prayers that were said aloud before basketball games at West Branch High School in Beloit, Ohio.

Invocations were subsequently halted, but the public reportedly reacted pretty swiftly.

The counter to that should be "Sports doesn't matter why are you praying over it?". It's a sport! Gees. This country is getting nuttier all the time.

There’s so much indoctrination in those religious nuts many of them would put they’re religion ahead of their families. I find that to be radical and disgusting.

It is just weird how this religiidiots want to indoctrinate children. I find it reprehensible.

They can sloganize and whine all they want but religious observance at a public school event is illegal and will have to stop. The FFRF does not waste resources on baseless legal challenges.

Prayer may matter, but nothing fails like it, as FFRF co-founder, Dan Barker, likes to say (sing)!

Not a good enough reason to start having them again. Lots of people thought slavery was an okay thing. They were wrong about that, too.

Lots of people STILL think that slavery is OK and ordained by god(s) along with all the other nonsense in their unholy books.
