it’s not a waste of time to feel your feelings. you’re not wasting time being “negative.” you don’t have to just get over this. you don’t have to rush it away. it’s okay to feel for a bit. allow yourself the grace and time to feel.
If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.
