Amen.In a 6-1 decision authored by Justice Hugo Black, the Court held that the prayer violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment because it promoted a religious belief regardless if the actual words were ambiguous as to which religion was being endorsed.

What are clause modifiers?
A clause modifier is simply a clause that modifies something. A clause is a sentence with at least a subject and a verb, for instance "I went to school". Now if we want to turn this clause into a modifier, we simply let it modify the meaning of something, for instance the phrase "I had breakfast": I had breakfast before I went to school.
