Say grace ( blessing of food ) out loud in a restaurant , should it be allowed ?
I have seen many response with poor taste, and not everyone is religious, and more of the like. We have freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Two of the great freedoms that this country was founded on. We left england because we did not want to be told who and how to worship. Say a prayer to bless your food falls well into the freedom of religion. And if you dont want to have religion forced on you, dont listen. Ignore them. I am sure they didnt ask the other patrons to join in. The others joined in on their own accord. Seperation of church and state applies to religion and government, not religion and everyday life. Christians have as much freedom of speech as Muslims and aeithist alike, and can express their religion just like the rest of them. If they want to pray before a meal, they have every right to do so. As long as it does not directly interfere with someones eating or such, and please people lighten up a bit, if its a large group, the prayer leader will have to speak up so all of the table can hear him. He is not speaking up so that you can hear him and have his religion forced on you.
