Atheists sue to stop Perry's role in prayer rally
(RNS) Five Texans are suing Gov. Rick Perry to prevent him from
appearing at a prayer rally scheduled for Aug. 6 in a Houston stadium.
The federal suit alleges that Perry, a Republican, is violating the
separation of church and state by appearing in a promotional video for a
prayer gathering organized by several evangelical groups.
The suit also seeks the removal of a link from the governor's
state-run website to the rally's website.
