Atheist group sues Rochester Hills country club over canceled speech

Detroit -- A Rochester Hills country club that canceled an appearance last fall by an internationally known atheist was sued in federal court Friday.
 
The Center for Inquiry-Michigan, an organization dedicated to secularism and science, sued Wyndgate Country Club for allegedly denying use of its facilities to the public based upon religious beliefs.
 
The center wants unspecified damages and to block the country club from discriminating against others for religious reasons, according to the lawsuit.
