Atheists suing Ocala, Florida, over prayer vigil denied by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up a case involving officials in Ocala, Florida, who called on residents to attend a prayer vigil that prompted two atheist plaintiffs to claim the city violated the First Amendment. Justices made the decision without comment, which effectively leaves in place a federal appeals court ruling which found at least one plaintiff was within their rights to sue over the event. The lawsuit will proceed in a lower court. ERIC ADAMS DEFENDS REMARKS ABOUT PRAYERS IN SCHOOLS, SAYS 'FAITH IS WHO I AM'...
