Last Friday, a judge struck down Arkansas’ law banning adoption by unmarried couples but, interestingly, the decision has not yielded an outpouring of outrage from the Religious Right – at least, not yet.

And the reason for that seems to be due to the fact that they are still too busy being outraged about the other ruling from last week finding the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional.

Dave Welch of the US Pastor Council says the ruling “is grounded in a fundamental hostility against public expression of the Christian faith” and the result of the fact that the nation continues to “reject the existence and/or sovereignty of God,” while Focus on the Family’s Stuart Shepard made the issue the focus on his latest “Stoplight” video (note Mike Huckabee’s appearance in the very beginning):

And while Fox News’ Megyn Kelly can’t seem to understand how a day designed to “acknowledge the role that God has played in the formation of this country and its laws” could ever be seen as promoting religion, The Christian Defense Coalition’s Rev. Patrick Mahoney and Faith 2 Action’s Rev. Rob Schenck are planning a press conference to demand that the Obama administration appeal the ruling:

President Obama has a unique chance to build a bridge to the faith community by acting quickly on this matter and reaffirming his commitment to public expressions of faith and the National Day of Prayer. It is not enough for Mr. Obama to make wonderful speeches about protecting religious freedom around the world. “Now is the time to act on protecting religious freedom in America. “Sadly, the President’s record concerning the Christian community and religious liberty is not a good one.

Meanwhile, Rep. Randy Forbes is telling Focus on the Family that the decision should be a “wake-up call” to all Americans about the importance of keeping “activist judges” off the bench:

The federal judge’s decision to call the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional represents a movement we are seeing across the country of a small minority who want to exclude faith, religion and morality from the marketplace of ideas. In so doing, they may be depriving us of the very principles we need to secure our freedom. … While we cannot speculate how the Supreme Court would rule on this case, one thing this particular decision should make clear is how dangerous it is to appoint activist judges. This federal judge has essentially said that the Declaration of Independence – a document that very clearly states that our rights were given by a Creator – is unconstitutional. Is there any question this judge would have declared the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional if it were written today, since it proclaims all our rights come from the Creator? It is regrettable that we would have a federal judge essentially rule against the very premise of the nation’s foundational document of freedom. The decision should be a wake-up call to Americans across the country.

But not to be outone is the Family Research Council, which is demanding the impeachment of the judge and that the nation fall on its knees to pray for our nation during these “darkest days”:
