I think religious discrimination is alive and well in Maine: I recently stopped at Hannaford for groceries — closed that day apparently due to Easter Sunday. I don’t recall them closing for Jewish or Muslim holidays.

Is this yet another example of our “persecuted” Christian friends receiving special treatment or privileges — the same special treatment that they deny to other groups? Just saying, people can’t have it both ways. More hypocrisy?
