they really don’t like it when you hit ‘em with the Matthew 6:5

The Nazis always show you who they are

This is not a prohibition for public prayer, despite~~ reddit's~~lemmy's inclination to always quote this whenever public prayer is mentioned

It may not be a prohibition against public prayer (though Jesus goes on to say that when you pray you should do so in an inner room of your own home), but it is absolutely an admonition about exactly the behavior of this coach, who would go kneel in the middle of the field and pray for show.
It's not a sin. It won't land you in hell. But I would say it's a prohibition, if you take into account that it's said by literally god.
I'm not steeped in theology but I thought acting against one of God's prohibitions is what a sin is. What distinguishes the two?
