Not everyone around you is a christian.

     Not everyone around you is religious. Not everyone around you is a christian. Not everyone believes in your god, whether it be Allah, God, Jehovah, etc. Not everyone adheres to some form of religious belief. I know this may be a difficult concept to comprehend, particularly down here in Kentucky, but some of us do not believe in any gods, including your conceptualization of the Judeo-Christian God. Not only is it arrogant to think otherwise, but it is grossly inappropriate and discriminatory to force your belief down other people's throats. Not everyone prays, because not everyone believes in a god. It is ignorant to act as though everyone shares the beliefs you were indoctrinated into as a child. 

    The First Amendment addresses one's right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Note, this ALSO guarantees the right of freedom from religion. Due to the alienation and discrimination it causes (and the fact that it violates the law!), any government-funded institution, such as state universities, student groups, and public schools, may not institute or enforce any particular religion's ceremonies, teaching, or rituals.
