So They're Not Into Tebowing, I Assume

Is it even possible to pick two more difficult foes than this atheist group is taking on in Tennessee: prayer before football games and University of Tennessee football? The group is suing to end the practice of a nonsectarian prayer before Vols games, and you know all the arguments. The thing is, they're right -- the Constitution and case law say that a state agency like the university can't promote religion with a sanctioned formal prayer, even if it's nominally "nonsectarian," but is this a battle that anyone really wants to see fought? If you're not religious, why do you care if someone else prays? And if you ARE religious, do you need an official prayer to pray?
