Prayer circle?...is this at a Christian school? because the whole story would make much more sense to me if that were true. I think it just goes to show you that all people are naturally utterly selfish and unaccepting, whether it's confused christian's acting like that to an atheist or atheists/agnostics doing the same to christians.

This is injustice plain and simple, and one more reason why the separation of church and state is so important. Thanks for bringing it to our attention Hemant.

How dare those small-minded, ignorant jerks take a dream away from a sweet, smart, athletic girl like that?! That's just criminal, and it shouldn't be happening anywhere, let alone the supposedly "free" U.S. Damn. :-( Kudos to 20/20 for at least including the atheist perspective in their report, that's progress right there.
