Militant atheists sue to stop national day of prayer

From Christianpost.com: "Christian Group Readies to Defend National Day of Prayer Against Lawsuit."

Last year, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a Wisconsin-based group of atheists and agnostics, filed a lawsuit against President Bush, the governor of Wisconsin and other officials over the federal law designating a National Day of Prayer – an annual event observed on the first Thursday of May, after it was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.

The suit alleges that presidential and gubernatorial proclamations of National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because it violates the Establishment Clause's separation of church and state.
