Prayer phobia

Many liberals and "progressive" secularists suffer from prayer phobia^{[Citation Needed]} and not only don't pray themselves, but prohibit others from praying via explicit legislation to that effect. The prohibition of classroom prayer in public schools in the United States is an example of prayer phobia manifesting itself among school officials.^{[Citation Needed]}
