The Pilgrims came to America to escape religious persecution. They said a touching prayer the day they departed from England praying for God's help. They said another prayer of thanksgiving after they had made the passage safely and again prayed for God's help. Their first act after choosing a site for their colony was to offer a prayer. One can get a sense of their faith in the document known as the Mayflower Compact signed by all while still on board the ship. Columbus also offered a prayer after a safe passage and invoked the name of God in claiming the new world for the King of Spain. A prayer is said at the inauguration of every President of the US. Both the Senate and the House begin each session with a prayer. Also read the inscription on the chamber where the Supreme Court sits. Finally, examine what is printed on each bill and stamped on each coin by the US mint. The first circumnavigation of the Moon was celebrated by reading a passage from the Bible.
