Why are people so offended by a National Prayer Day?

I'm a Christian and am just curious about why this has become such a big issue lately...

On edit:

Ok, to be fair, this was a bit of an experiment on my part. I understand exactly why a national prayer day could be offensive - and not only to non-Christians, by the way. I find it offensive, too. I posted my thoughts on the matter here earlier. Replies were fast and furious in this second thread, in which I offered no opinion of my own. I guess I just wish that more people showed interest when a more positive Christian view is expressed as they do when given the chance to belittle the negative stereotypes.

I'm still interested in your replies. Just thought I should come clean on where I stand.

Carry on.

:hi:
