The Bright Movement (Dennett)

[CaptainBubba]

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

-Matthew 6:5-8

I'll refrain from my interpretation as I'm woefully iggnorant in regards to Bible specifics. This is just my favorite part of the Bible so I felt like citing it in regards to the topic. For all the people who claim to have read the Bible there sure are alot of people who seem to disregard this ( And I know that it doesn't mean all public prayer is wrong. I'm reffering to people who pray every chance they get while in my pressence).
