[Fists] Re: who suggests religious beliefs not be "used" on the air?

[kc9brz]

Hyrum:  Can you point me to anything in Part 97, or in ARRL
guidelines where it is suggested that religious beliefs are 
not be "used on the ham frequencies" ?

Do you mean "discussed"?  Or how do you mean "used" ?

There's a group of (who I consider to be) very respectful
gentlemen who have a regular "Bible Net" on 75 meter, and 
they discuss stuff from the Bible, and have on-air prayers.

Are they in violation of something?
