Boy, I'm getting wore out, I'll tell ya that!
I wouldn't say "vision" as much as I would say "tradition" or "way of life".
And prayer was a pretty "liberal idea" to begin with. Maybe you're just wanting to replace some peoples liberal idea with your liberal idea?
What you get out of the story is up to you. I was hoping you would get- "well, there's other people in the world (who were living a certain way for a long time before I got here), and I guess I could learn to respect some of their traditions that might be important to them".
I guess you're becoming something of the "atheist missionary".
There were many "traditions" in this country like equal but separate laws for blacks, slavery, denying property ownership and voting rights for women, pulling children out of school and working them in dangerous jobs in factories to support the family, burning witches, slaughtering Native Americans and taking their land, public hangings, etc. You know, the good ole days.
