Why can't Christians do like Jesus said and pray in private?
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Which bit of that is telling people to pray in private?
For the record: I absolutely disagree with the OP's ridiculous assertion that Atheists are akin to Nazis. They are not. Only Nazis are akin to Nazis. Any other comparison is intellectually lazy.... and offensive to those who suffered at the hands of real Nazis.
Mathew 6:6
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
The bible verse you refer to has to do with preaching, not praying. The article in the OP also references praying and not gospel spreading.
maybe many of the public prayer supporters are not very clear on the concept of praying and the difference to preaching.
