    Good God; These whiny Evangelical Atheists are brats. They support free speech as long as nobody is talking about God and they repeatedly misunderstand “separation of church and state” which is not a phrase in the Constitution The concepts relate to  the government not endorsing a particular denomination or, having a state church. It not about whether free citizens including Governors can speak at a prayer rally.
