Atheist Angst Over a Pizza Discount
A Wisconsin-based atheist organization has claimed that an Arkansas pizzeria's church bulletin discount violates the Civil Rights Act.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation of Madison has sent a letter to Bailey's Pizza of Searcy urging the restaurant to stop giving 10 percent discounts to people who bring in a church bulletin.
Sent earlier this month, the letter alleges that Bailey's owner, Steven Rose, is discriminating against patrons who have not attended church.
"The law requires places of public accommodation to offer their services to customers without regard to race, color, religion or national origin," wrote FFRF representative Elizabeth Cavell.
Bailey's, which opened last month, also allows patrons to write Bible verses on one of the restaurant's walls.
