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

The Supreme Court Monday’s refusal to accept a case that involved Ocala officials was a rejection. FloridaThe mayor urged citizens to join a prayer gathering that led to the arrest of two plaintiffs from the atheist faith.

The decision was made by the justices without any comment. This effectively overturns a ruling of the federal appeals court that found at least one plaintiff had the right to sue for the incident. The case will be heard in the lower court.
