I think something happened where they tried to get the cast of DD not to pray. I don't watch the show so not certain. it was a pretty big deal a year or 2 ago though.

No. That is not what happened.

Phil Robertson said some slightly homophobic stuff and it angered a lot of people.

quote:
As a refresher, here’s what he told GQ about gay men: “It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

I wasn't about them praying on the show.

ETA:

Phil tried to tell people they told them to stop praying as a result of this. So I might be wrong. However, Snopes says otherwise:

Phil's Robertson's son, Alan, also said:

The rumor that A&E told the Robertsons to tone down guns and prayer is not true. We continue to partner with A&E to make a great TV show that reflects our family's values.

probably one of the nicest ways a public christian has ever said they don't like gay sex and the other side lost their collective shite.

and DD continued to make millions of dollars when they told them to kiss their grits.
