While we're at it, let's have prayer in schools, for the same reason. In the country where I went to school (the same one Brad went to school in) we didn't have any of that pesky first amendment stuff, so we recited (sang, some years!) The Lord's Prayer in class every morning. It's tricky to measure, because there's little people like to lie about more than piety, but the best-justified figures I can find http://www.religioustolerance.org/rel_rate.htm indicate that about 20% of Americans attend church services regularly, but only about 10% of Canadians. Maybe that compulsory school prayer thing wouldn't have the effect the rollers want. I say bring 'em on!
