Praying in public and/or taking pride in praying during public events "like the hypocrites" contrary to Jesus' New Testament commandment in Matthew 6: 5-6. Matthew 6: 5-6 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 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.
