Missouri to Pass Law Declaring US "Christian Nation"?

Yes, that's right, HCR13, a bill currently being considered for passage in the Missouri House and Senate, would declare the United States a "Christian Nation." The enormous public outrcry to the legislature after its release will probably prohibit the bill from passing in the MO congress, but another bill, HJR39, is currently working its way through the system, and would "place on the ballot a Constitutional amendment which allows voluntary [and government-condoned] prayer in a public place" (Margaret Donelly, MO Rep).

It is important to not that the bill HJR39, which would support public prayer as a means to deal with political and state issues, shares a name with the Missouri bill that passed in August 2004 which established marriage as "only between a man and a woman."
