Simply replacing the National Day of Prayer with the National Day of Reason would only place the religious instead of the nonreligious in a position of a "second class citizen." However with the two working in tandem with each other, both groups of people have a choice to commemorate their beliefs towards a religious or scientific inspiration on May 5th.
