Religion is a personal choice. People can worship in anyplace and in anyway they desire, as long as it doesn't break the law.

Just because previous Presidents held "formal events" at the White House to mark the National Day of Prayer doesn't mean it’s a tradition that has to continue. It's not an edict cast in stone.

From Think Progress:

• Christian Right: Obama Is A Heretic For Observing Day Of Prayer In Private Just Like Most Other Presidents

And I have to quote the imprudent Elizabeth Hasselbeck from the same article to make a point:

We should be able to gather and pray as we see fit.

Exactly. Everyone can pray as they see fit, I agree. They can go to church, they can kneel at their bedsides, they can go fishing and meditate by a stream, and so on and so forth. However, being at the White House for the National Day of Prayer is not mandatory or a prerequisite for being Christian.

Besides, President Obama has already issued a National Day of Prayer Proclamation. So what is the purpose of faux outrage from right-wing fanatics? If one does into fall into their definition of Christian then they must be pagan or a heretic? Please.

This is America. We don't have to tolerate having the religious beliefs of other people shoved down our throats. Again, we can worship as we see fit.
