Good because along with the PC government reasoning, your comment isn't. Religious beliefs or lack thereof
do not equate with ethnic identity. This is offensive to me as Afro American as you you insinuate that the restaurant banned atheists in the fashion that coloreds were once banned from or segregated to rear entrances and sections of white owned businesses. I didn't read that anyone was refused service or by definition of the word, discriminated
against. I surely doubt that if the same establisment ran a promotion for 'Happy Atheism Day', it could be proven to be a bash against people who have the right to choose to believe in an Almighty Deity, nor that you would have issue with that.
