Letter: You don’t have to be religious to pray

Nobody questions it, everybody uses it, religious or nonreligious. No one has refused the engravings of "In God We Trust" on money.

I'm sure there have been a lot of nonreligious "In God We Trust" killings and robberies.

Prayer has nothing to do with anyone's religion. You don't have to be religious to pray.

Prayer is asking for a blessing or something good to happen to someone. Simple as "Have a good day." You don't have to be religious to pray, you don't have to have a religion of any kind to spend money, and everybody, religious as well as nonreligious, needs and spends it without question.
