Religion and Politics

Today in one of my political science class we talked about the separation of church and state. It ended up being an interesting discussion on whether of not ministers should be in office and prayer in school. What I found compelling is that there are so many views and/or opinions about religion that it's mind blowing. There were students who says that people should be allowed to pray or practice their religion anywhere they please including school. Others say that you can pray but privately because you go to school to get an education, not talk about religion or pray. I think that it goes both ways. Anyone can pray prviately but poeple don't want to get offended by someone else's religion or beliefs but we should respect each other but it doesn't mean that we hhave to agree with it. I don't know??? Is it expressing yourself or expressing yourself to others who might not agree with you??? That is the question!
