Let's keep this simple: We separate religion and government in this country. That means the state has no business setting aside special days for prayer or other religious observances.

James Madison issued a few under pressure from Congress but later in his life wrote an essay saying he wished he hadn't. Andrew Jackson followed Jefferson's lead and refused to issue such proclamations entirely.
