re: #279 HappyWarrior

I don’t think it was Va. Wouldn’t have flown here. Republicans/conservatives can’t tooera anything other than conservative Christianity or if they’re having a good day, Judaism.

You’re correct. I tracked it down on the atheist forum I run because I remember noting it when it happened. It is Oklahoma (I remember why I left that state: Mary Fallin was elected and we got the heck out).

patheos.com

Trevor Brown of Oklahoma Watch obtained a copy of that letter and notes that the rules effectively shut out religious minorities and atheists from delivering those invocations.

That’s because Strohm’s letter makes clear that his colleagues should nominate speakers from “the representative’s own place of worship”… Which is very convenient when the Oklahoma State House is overwhelmingly Christian.
