A Wisconsin-based secular group announced Tuesday that it is fighting the religious culture in Auburn University’s football program.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) said in a press release that it sent Auburn an open records request in 2014, asking for information related to football chaplain Chette Williams.

The church-and-state watchdog decided to continue its efforts “to stop the unconstitutionally excessive piety in Auburn University’s football program” after a video surfaced of Williams leading the team in prayer before Auburn’s Homecoming game against Southern Mississippi on Sept. 29.

They must really hate the Vols. The Tennessee PA announcer says an opening prayer before the National Anthem at all home games.
