Residents of Gainesville, Georgia are telling an anti-Christian organization to mind their own business and to quit attempting to bully their children.

The anti-Christian American Humanist Association has been harassing the Chestatee High School officials and students because of the football team’s staff participating in team prayers and for religious messages appearing at times in team documents.

Over 200 people showed up for an unplanned prayer rally in the middle of the football field Wednesday morning with a simple message: stay out of our town.

“I am a mom of two of the football players on the CHS football team and I consider it an honor and a privilege to have my boys on a team that is led by men that believe and trust in God,” a woman said. “I think it’s a shame for one person to try and take that away from them.”

The anti-Christianists say that offenses include coaches “having clasped hands with players” while prayers were taking place and that cheerleaders once held a banner that said “Iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 21:17.”

“The liberal atheist interest groups trying to bully Chestatee High School kids say they have a reason to believe that expressions of religious freedom are ‘not an isolated event’ in Northeast Georgia,” Congressman Doug Collins wrote in a statement to Fox News. “They’re right. In Hall County and throughout Georgia’s 9th district, we understand and respect the Constitution and cherish our right to worship in our own way.”

Collins said it was interesting that the American Humanist Association is focusing on harassing Christian students at the same time Christians are being killed in Iraq for simply being Christians.

“It’s utterly disgusting that while innocent lives are being lost in Iraq and other places at the hands of radical religious terrorists, a bunch of Washington lawyers are finding the time to pick on kids in Northeast Georgia,” he said.
