Fiona Pattern is leading the charge for Victoria s parliament to ditch the Lord s prayer to open each session.
Before politicians can begin their business in the Upper House chamber each day, they have to wait for the classic Our Father, who art in heaven spiel.
But one MP believes this shouldn t be required in this era, especially considering there s meant to be a separation of church and state in Australia.
Ms Pattern, who identifies as atheist, has released a video that asks whether Victorians would want to recite the Lord s prayer before watching the AFL.
