It not just Washington, DC, but most states have a prayer breakfast, including Missouri.

@SageDave When politicians have a prayer breakfast they starting a proceeding that is not allowed by church and state. Government is not in any way religious.

@DenoPenno In fact, the US government (especially under Trump) has taken religion to a new level of political contrivance. Yes, the Constitution is a secular document and per my research and book (A Christian Nation?), so were many of the early documents of this nation, from the Mayflower Compact forward. But religion has crept in many times in our short 250-year history. The ratification of the XVIII Amendment is a prime example. Yet since its founding in 1953 and revitalized in 1970, the National Prayer Breakfast has not been challenged as a violation of the First Amendment,

@SageDave And the Prayer Breakfast should be challenged because the group behind it goes all out to bring church and state together, hide agenda here and overseas, hide finances, etc. to remain secretive and avoid violations of that Amendment. "The Family" behind it is when Graham, Bakkar, and others come in with ideas of Trump as "The Chosen One." It's enough to make you sick.
