The Devil went down to Georgia has been banned from being played at a football game, because it violates the separation of church and state...
Years ago, a Neil Diamond song about revival was banned, and of course, coaches can no longer pray with their students before games... it implies God might take sides....
My favorite story about pregame prayer was of a football game between Notre Dame and a secular school...the chaplain gave a long prayer asking God for help and safety, and at the end, he reminded everyone that "God does not take sides"....and then the priest from N.D. came up and ended his prayer with "and I want all of you to remember: God does not take sides...but his MOTHER does...go Fighting Irish"....
