One BIG one, the 1st Amendment: "...free exercise thereof". We can't have it both ways. If praying in schools is 'congress establishing a religion' then judges, politicians and school administrators prohibiting prayer in school, or any place else, is 'prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." And, if we can prohibite the free exercise of religion we can also prohibite the remaining parts of the 1st amendment.
