Racism can get pretty bad in Europe, Thierry Henry ran a campaign a little while back against racism and it's presence on the soccer field and in the stands which makes me love him even more as if his crazy skills weren't good enough. I guess I should have expected to find that England is not always the great and enlightened place that it's made out to be, which is stupid I know. Anyway, here's the article I stumbled across:

Council ban on atheist websites
A city council has blocked its staff from looking at websites about atheism.
The city council said the system helped managers monitor staff web access
A city council has blocked its staff from looking at websites about atheism.
Lawyers at the National Secular Society said the move by Birmingham City Council was "discriminatory" and they would consider legal action.
The rules also ban sites that promote witchcraft, the paranormal, sexual deviancy and criminal activity.

Any thoughts?
Has anyone in other areas of the world had to deal with employee religious discrimination that would be similar to that?
It seems pretty odd to me but I live in a very far left leaning liberal area of the US so it's not the sort of thing that I'm use to.
