They offered not to wear their t-shirts, at which point they're no longer even promoting their group, so it is discrimination.
Quote:Also, are you saying that it's ok to discriminate on religious grounds just because you're a religious organization?Yes. Christian groups should be allowed to limit themselves to Christians, and atheist groups should be allowed to limit themselves to atheists, and so on. Note that this isn't an employment issue, and the kitchen's site says it feeds anyone who comes, with no religious requirements.
In short, the atheists got their feelings hurt, and are making a stink about it.
Quote:I would understand if they said, no you can't promote your group here, but that's not what they said,Again, we don't know that.
Quote:they're rejecting people just because they're not christians.Yes, as they're a Christian organization. Duh.
