I am an atheist. As long as I can go there and do my thing, I have no problem with it.

Christianson, said UVU has taken care to make sure the lounge won't violate the constitutional principle of separation of church and state. While Utah State Code does prohibit public schools and school officials from sponsoring prayer or religious devotionals, there is no law barring students from praying on campus.

The logic of separation of church and state is there for the expressed purpose to see that the majority or dominate religion of any region does not receive favoritism, at the expense (read taxes) of the minority. The presence of an LDS church building in the middle of campus of a state owned school shows how easily such rules are bent. Praying in one's own mind, and providing floor space in a government owned building to bend one's knees in a profane display of piety, for me is not using my tax money to educate young minds, but to support the indoctrination and superstition, that an unseen, unconfirmed entity, requires devotion at timed intervals.

Logic would dictate that such a deity, would more abundantly bless those adherents that took the greater effort to pray in the parking lot. Government should not be involved in such theological implications.
