Continental Congress approved First Amendment and national prayer day simultaneously in 1789

The presenter argues that the First Congress approved both the First Amendment establishing separation of church and state and a national day of prayer on the same day in September 1789, suggesting the Founders never intended strict secular government. He claims this timing proves the Founders understood the implications and deliberately intended government acknowledgment of God while preventing establishment of a specific denomination. The 1983 Supreme Court case Marsh v. Chambers affirmed this interpretation.
