Since the Supreme Court decided last week to hear in October 2013 the case I got involved in six years ago, many legal analysts are hotly debating whether it should be legal or illegal to pray “in Jesus’ name” at government meetings.

Sadly, whether you love or hate Jesus seems to be the sole deciding factor for most. Are there no honest lawyers remaining, who understand the First Amendment protects freedom of religious expression for faiths you disagree with? If an atheist or anti-Jesus lawyer had any moral integrity, they would defend religious freedom for Christians.

As a former Navy Chaplain I defended religious freedom for Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, even Atheists (at risk of my own career I did this). Perhaps the Holy Spirit in me loves my neighbor’s liberty more than my own. Yet the anti-Jesus lawyers who hate freedom will not defend my right to pray according to conscience. Why? The demons in them squirm when they hear the name of Jesus. They are so uneasy they must persecute to silence us.

Take for example this article by an anti-Jesus law professor Marci Hamilton who hates religious freedom so much that she once argued against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act before the Supreme Court. She complains how “groups are aggressively seeking to re-introduce prayer in public schools, a movement that includes many who insist that this is a ‘Christian country.'” She then argues that “diversity” requires the court ban Jesus prayers (which logic is oxymoronic.) I commented on her blog that diversity requires, well, actual diversity, not conformity to one government-sanitized faith.

Compare that to this Christian lawyer’s view, defending Jesus prayers. He skewers the atheist requirement that prayers must be “non-sectarian” asking: “How does a person pray in nonsectarian fashion? Does a reference to God fail the ‘nonsectarian’ test, since it may offend polytheists? Would only a prayer beginning, ‘To whom it may concern’ qualify?”

You can see from these sharp disagreements, why this Supreme Court case will be the most important religious freedom case of our generation.

We must defend true religious freedom, especially for our military chaplains. Would you sign our petition to Congress?
