The Portland city Civil Rights code already prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, age, and disability, but Kolbe said religion isn't clearly defined.

Commissioner Amanda Fritz, after being pressed by FFRF, proposed the change to "add non-religion such as atheism, agnosticism, and non-belief to the definition of religion," according to city council records.

Oh boy. This is going to get really interesting really fast. Of course atheism is operationally a religion. Christians have been trying to point that out for decades.

Well, then, you got your wish. Atheism is added to the list of religions, against which one may not discriminate. This could get interesting.
