National Prayer Day

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/06/obama.prayer/index.html

By toning down "National Prayer Day" Obama is taking a step in a direction to even include more Americans. Yes National Prayer Day was for those of all faiths, but Obama is even pleasing those with no faith. He believes that those who pray will pray and him and his family even pray. However, the National Atheist Assoc encourages his decision by saying "It is not the Presidents job to tell people when to pray". This goes hand in hand with what we were reading and this "culture war" the Democrats are seen in the media to support and be more open to those of all faiths, or no faith. While the Republicans are viewed as being more religious and conservative in that area.
