A story on the subject:
http://washingtontimes.com/culture/2...2503-7620r.htm

I'm an agnostic, but the Congress critters are free to speak their minds on belief. As long as that's all they do, and don't try to incorporate their religion into law. Which they're not.

I thought this was pretty funny, though:

Quote:
After today's press conference, Mr. Forbes says he and the other participating lawmakers plan to hold similar meetings in all 50 state capitals.

"If we have several thousand people praying for five minutes for the future of our country, that creates a spiritual fire wall around America that is pretty significant," he said.
Not to make fun of the guy's faith, but I've never understood the conflation of belief with nationalism. Individual salvation I get. But what makes him think God gives a rip about the United States as opposed to, say, Belgium or India?
