The mayor has also noted that secular nonprofit agencies were heavily involved in the effort.

Like whom? Anyone in particular? I’d like to have some opinions from those folks as well.

He said the event’s focus was on preventing homicides, not on promoting any one faith over another.

Let’s wait & see if the % of homicides decreases in the next 6 mos.
Does anyone have stats about similar events elsewhere? Or is this unique?

The secular Northeast and Northwest have the lowest crime rates. That money could have been spent in much better ways.

I don't think it should be American Atheists suing the city, but rather the Modern Language Association. If the rally doesn't reduce homicide, it may at least turn George Orwell over in his grave.<br /> “Arming Our Prayer Warriors”?
