In the UK my graduation speech had no prayers. Yet here we have a state religion. Odd.
We do have to stand for grace before formal hall meals, but that is because of my old university has a love of tradition. Because only a couple of people actually understand what is being said it makes it quite clear that the prayer is kept for tradition rather than for reasons of promoting religion.
