Atheist Group Points Out Diner’s “Praying In Public” Discount Is A Civil Rights Violation

Last week, a diner in North Carolina made headlines for giving a 15% discount to customers who said grace before eating. While the owner argued that the discount was more about rewarding customers who express “gratitude,” it’s hard to ignore that the discount is described on receipts as a discount for “Praying in Public.”

The customers who shared their ticket with the world also said that their waitress had told them, “Just so you know, we gave you a 15 percent discount for praying.” Not for “being grateful” or “enjoying your meal” or “saying nice things to the cook.” Of course, for all the restaurant owner knew, customers could be praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which should always be done before eating pasta in any form.

This country was founded on religious freedom, not freedom from religion.

Atheists need to be told to move on and get over it. Its not all about them. Everybody is not entitled to everything everyone else has.

They can get the discount also. Just bow their head and pray. Easy as that. How can they give seniors a discount and not everyone else?
If they don't like the policy of a business find another one! It's as easy solution. How are their rights more important than others?

Ladies night at the bar is a violation also, so they did away with it and now call it happy hour for everyone.

Someone needs to start suing the atheist groups until they go broke. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Not true. The first settler came to this nation to get away from religious tyranny, FROM religion. This country was founded EXACTLY on that ideal.. to get AWAY FROM religion... as well as being free to practice, or not practice, religion as you see fit.

America WAS founded, right from the get go, on Freedom of AND FROM religion.
