No chaplains, please.

Have you heard about the kerfuffle over a Hindu praying before Congress? Some conservatives are upset, as this conservative news site will tell you.

The United States Congress should have no chaplaincy. The republic as our Founders intended was to be as secular as practicable.

James Madison wrote in "Detached Memoranda" that: "The establishment of the chaplainship to Congress is a palpable violation of equal rights, as well as of Constitutional principles." This quote can be read in context here.
