I think Gladius is just trying to understand are verbalize what the basis for a lawsuit for discrimination would be and not offering an opinion as to whether or not he feels this should or should not be permitted.

On the one hand this is a pretty stupid reason for atheists to get up in arms, but if you read the article the basis would be that it's discriminatory to charge atheists more than religious people for the same service.

And Ladies nights have been ruled discriminatory in some states.

Frankly, this is a stupid "case".

Yes, this is their argument. However it is a silly argument.

By definition, you don't have to be religious to pray.

Based upon the wording of state statutes. California outlawed differences in pricing for protected classes. This would be illegal in CA.
