Atheist Group Tries to Sue Rick Perry

An athiest group is suing Texas Governor Rick Perry. They want a court to step in and prevent him from attending a massive prayer rally at Reliant Stadium next month. The Freedom from Religious Foundation claims Perry's visit there violates the separation of church and state, and lifts one religion above another. A Perry spokesman says he will not back away from the event. He called it an non-denominational apolitical Christian prayer meeting.
