Why do some politically active Christians advocate public prayer in public schools? Jesus said to pray in private, not to be seen by others. He did that himself, often walking far away from his friends into the wilderness or woods. Jesus valued privacy to think and pray alone. Any person in any public school can pray anytime, in the privacy of their thoughts right where they are. If needed they can go to a restroom stall for some solitude, sit and pray quietly in their mind.
Public prayer advocates give the appearance of forcing religiosity or Christianity onto those who don't want it forced on them -- including Christians like me!
