An atheist group that opposes all forms of religious expression and practice on public property warned Sheriff Ed Gonzalez of Harris County, Texas, that he shouldn’t have let hip-hop star and new Christian convert Kanye West hold a Sunday service in the local jail.

More than 200 male and female inmates in the Harris County Jail attended two separate services led by West on Nov. 15. Photos from the events on social media show inmates kneeling in prayer and holding their arms in the air in worship.
