Much to the consternation and umbrage of Catholic and Southern Baptist Convention leaders, Mayor Bloomberg has decided to not have any official religious speakers at the 9/11 ceremony this Sunday in NYC.
Bloomberg is to be congratulated for leaving religious devotions to one's own conscience and personal taste.
In observing the 10th anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center, that was in part brought on by religious fanaticism, we should be relieved that even more religious strife will not be a part of the official ceremony.
