The National Day of Prayer
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
President Obama is downplaying official recognition for the National Day of Prayer while defending the institution from a lawsuit insisting it’s a violation of the distinction between Church and State.
From a Chaos Magic point of view, Prayer has the potential to unite belief and gnosis, it is magically potent with or without ‘God’.
The visitors to this website may represent all kinds of religious faiths and points of view. Chaos Magic can also be an especially good fit for the open minded Atheist.
Normally I agree Church and State require separation. But in this case I feel prayer needs to be liberated from Religion. Secular prayer is already a reality any time you see a problem in this world and hope for better.
The entire world has so many problems right now. Even if you’re an Atheist, there’s virtue in taking the time to consider lifes problems, to be thankful our lives aren’t worse and to intend for a better tomorrow.
America is largely a Christian nation, if you are not Christian this ‘National Day of Prayer’ may occur to you as more Christian oppression. Indeed, many conservative Christians will be praying for codification of the USA as specifically a Judeo/Christian nation.
But don’t let that stop you. Participate, be you Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, Pagan, Atheist, Christian or any other faith or agnosticism – Include yourselves in the national Day of Prayer! America needs all the help it can get. The Atheist contemplating for a better American tomorrow and how to get there steals from the conservative Christian any illusion theirs are the only American Prayers.
Prayer is powerful.
Let us all pray on a better tomorrow this Thursday, that we’ll survive Global Warming, that market capitalism can be redeemed, that war can end and that global starvation becomes a memory.

The effects of Global Warming is getting much stronger these days. We should concentrate more on alternative energy to reduce carbon emissions.
Yeah, even Christians should realize God helps those who help themselves. Don’t count on the rapture for an exit strategy.
