Yes you can, and it has been done before. Read the link for information about a man who sued in federal court for exactly that reason and was allowed to quit attending. As the presiding judge wrote:
“The County argues further that the nonsectarian nature of the A.A. experience immunizes its use of religious symbolism and practices from Establishment Clause scrutiny. The argument is at the very least factually misleading, for the evidence showed that every meeting included at least one explicitly Christian Prayer. Furthermore, the claim that nonsectarian religious exercise falls outside the First Amendment’s scrutiny has been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court.”
The US Supreme Court let the decision stand without hearing the case. Unfortunately for you (I assume) the action sets no legal precedent and does not omit the possibility that in future cases this or another high court may revisit the issues raised in Robert Warner’s case. But you can sue, and take it from there.
