The Treaty of Tripoli was rescinded. look it up. John Adams was a Christian. Do some research into who prayed and had church services and where back then. Who prayed and had a Bible study prior to completing the writing of our constitution. You might want to find some history books published prior to about 1950 or so. Back before the progressives started deleting the truth about our country and founding fathers from the text. As for the verses about praying in a closet - it does not mean we are to go into a closet to pray. While alone time with the Lord is a treasured time, that scripture was about those who would go out into the public areas praying loudly in an attempt to show others just how spiritual they were. (not) Their goal was to show off in front of others, not to honor the Lord. Christians DO pray in public, but for the correct reasons. If followers of Christ had gone into their closets (they had closets?) to pray quietly away from others, they would not have been martyred. Enter your comments here

If the offended do send their kids to a private christian based school, that's fine, they probably value the education over the religious teachings.
