The late atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair made religion in school a federal case. 

In the 1960s, O'Hair sued the Baltimore City school system, where her son William attended, over Bible readings in school. The case made it all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in her favor. 

On Friday, her son was in Annapolis, telling lawmakers maybe it's time to say Amen again.
