America: To Pray or Not to Pray

Description of America:

On June 25, 196 the United States Supreme Court first struck down voluntary school prayer in the case Engle v. Vitale. In this book, you'll see statistical evidence showing what has happened to our country since the Supreme Court began this separation of religious principles from our educational system, government, and public affairs (nearly 40 charts are included). In addition, several action items are suggested for restoring what's been lost.

Description of David Barton, author of America:

Do you know what happened when religious principles were separated from public affairs? On June 25, 196 the Supreme Court first struck down school prayer by prohibiting students from using simple invocation: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee, and beg Thy blessing upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country." Following this case, the Court began methodically expelling other religious principles: the effects have been evident. This book uses government statistics to show that 1962--the year religious principles were first separated for public affairs--was the year that the decline started in youth, education, families, and the nation.
