Religious discrimination? What about forcing an atheist to hear prayers? | Letter to the editor

In response to Paul Metzler’s letter to the editor about Lane County Commissioner David Loveall and elected officials expressing religious opinions, I wonder if Paul would agree then that if a commissioner was Jewish or Muslim or Buddhist, then he or she would be allowed to lead in prayer?

I’m an atheist, and I don’t want to hear anything religious during public meetings. That is why separation of church and state is so important.
