Today knowledge of God is one of the most conspicuous Berlin Walls dividing our cultural landscape. In religious schools and universities, in traditional synagogues and churches, and in the hearts and minds of the majority of Americans, knowledge of God is considered crucial to proper education. On the other end of the tug-of-war rope is found the educational bureaucracy that expects the state to accommodate every possible bizarre cultural mutation and lifestyle, but finds prayer at graduation an intolerable and fatal compromise of state neutrality toward religion. . . .
The problems we encounter invariably result from the switch in policy over the past three decades from pro-God to secular.
Rabbi Daniel Lapin, "America's Real War," pg.160, 161
