>What's the chaplain doing in a baseball team? Praying for a score? Doubling as a psycho-ops engineer to boost the morale? Doing pep-speeches? Having an obstacle if they ever hire a non-Christian player?

This is a free country. If you don't want to participate you don't have to and no one can make you. Don't believe in prayer? Then don't pray. It's all up to you. Don;t want to resite the pledge of allegiance? You don't have to.
Isn't that simple and beautiful?:)
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
