Restaurant Discontinues “Praying in Public” Discount After Visit from Heathen Bullies With Lawyers
Mary’s Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem, NC was giving a 15 percent discount to anyone who prayed before eating.
Note the past tense in the first sentence:
Craig Marimpietri tweeted a photo from Mary’s Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem, NC where a sign noted that “while you may exercise your right of religious freedom, by praying over your meal…we must protect your freedom from religion in a public place.” The restaurant is no longer issuing the discount because, “it is illegal and we are being threatened by lawsuit.”
Here’s the tweet with the sign:

Basically, those heathen bullies at the Freedom From Religion Foundation told them to expect a lawsuit, in not so many words:
In an interview with Greensboro, NC’s News & Record newspaper, Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation said that the group didn’t threaten a lawsuit against the diner, but pointed out that it is illegal to “charge an atheist more than a Christian.”
“People who are atheists do not pray,” Gaylor said.
“Nice diner. Be a shame if something happened to it. By the way…”
Totally not a threat, right?
In a free country, a private business owner could charge what they wanted to who they wanted, when they wanted.
Instead, we have people like Gaylor rolling up and “not threatening” business owners because they dared to offer people a discount for behavior they approved of in their restaurant.
Sickening.
One last thing. It’s important to know that there are atheists, those who don’t believe in any god and don’t care if you do, and there are anti-theists. They don’t believe in any god and don’t want anyone else to either.
The people who are pitching a fit here? More the latter than the former.
