Prayer and the Joint Chiefs
In my opinion, Watkins proved Toth’s point that the Pentagon’s religious fervor raises questions and doubts.
Our Founding Fathers did not advocate religion in government, as Watkins would have us believe.
On the contrary, they were so concerned about preserving a separation between church and state, they gave us the First Amendment to the Constitution to emphasize that position.
