If I worked at a place where management brought everyone together every
workday morning to pray for the workers' safety, I'd definitely have concerns
about whether that was a safe place to work.

Nevertheless, it's ok to pray quietly and privately; it's not ok to use one's
position of authority to coerce others into joining that prayer.

Leftists want fairness for everyone. Everyone is free to pray as they see
fit, but they cannot force their religion on others.
