An atheist group could sue a Georgia school district, if Chestatee High School football coaches don’t stop promoting prayer during football team functions.

The Appignani Humanist Legal Center sent a letter to the district superintendent stating, “We have been informed that the school’s football coaches have been using their position to promote Christianity on the football team by integrating Bible verses into functional team documents and team promotion.”


If the school doesn’t separate church from state, it could possibly be sued for damages.

On Thursday, according to WXIA TV, students at the school protested through prayer.

In the Fox News video above, former NFL pro football player Randal Hill told Fox News he’s  pro-prayer.
