Gridlock struck Asheville, N.C., when thousands gathered for a "We Still Pray" rally -- and thousands more were stuck in traffic trying to reach the high school football stadium.

As many as 35,000 people, by one newspaper's estimate, either at the Aug. 17 rally or stuck on local highways registered their protest of a key U.S. Supreme Court ruling against school prayer in June.

One of the national goals of their fledgling "We Still Pray" movement is to encourage "spontaneous prayer" at high school football games -- by joining in the Lord's Prayer immediately after the National Anthem.
