I guess I'm just lucky to live in Laguna Beach where the town council, planning commision, etc. have no invocations or prayers. Thank Zeus!

I'm just wondering if council prayers are the most important target for us.

I think one of the worst things that religion does is reproduce itself into subsequent generations by indoctrination of children. While I don't think we have a right to get between a parent and a child I think we do have a right to make sure our government-run educational institutions don't take part in this inculcation. So are there any cases in OC of teachers pushing religious views?, prayers at school events?, creationism in the classroom?

Maybe these things don't happen here. But if they do I would think they are prime targets for a group like ours. Of course, there's nothing to say we can't go after multiple targets at once.

If they're happening, I haven't heard about them. It's a problem in other places, but generally, that kind of thing isn't happening on any large-scale or organized matter. Even if it was, though, there's no reason we couldn't fight both...

I picked council prayers because they're a) easy targets and b) something that's easily changed. I'm happy to go after any targets that need attention, but so far these are the most glaring around here.
