A prominent atheist legal group has asked an appeals court to uphold a lower court ruling that bans a theologically conservative Christian ministry from a Minnesota prison.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed an amicus brief late last month before the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in the case of Anthony Schmitt v. Jolene Robertus et al.

The litigation centers on whether Schmitt and a colleague can continue to teach a faith-based rehabilitation program to male inmates at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud.

Shouldn't it be freedom of choice? If they want Christian ministry, the inmates can attend. If not, don't go. Simple.
