1.) There is nothing wrong with holding a prayer.

Duck Commander sponsored the race, and Phil is in fact a church elder so it isn’t out of the ordinary for him to say prayer in public. It’s not like the CEO of Valvoline gave the prayer for shits and giggles; “Lord, protect our piston rings and cylinders from excessive wear.”

So you’re saying prayer is bad? People at my work pray all the time and I work for a pretty big media company and I’m agnostic. The only people that have a problem with prayer are people who just want to bitch about something.
