2. Jesus...

Jesus actually said it was nonessential, so the argument is not really valid.

Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

Matthew 6:6

But 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.

It couldn't be clearer, but oh, it was just something ol' Jesus said, so maybe it doesn't count anymore.
