The city of Portland, Ore., has been ordered to pay $19,000 to a city employee over religious harassment.

Kellymarie Griffin said her co-worker at the Mount Tabor Maintenance Yard complained when she said “God bless you” after a sneeze.

Griffin said the co-worker also said “I’m tired of your Christian attitude” and mocked her for praying to a God who was a figment of her imagination.

After four years of harassment, including facing several civil stalking orders from the co-worker against her, Griffin filed suit.

A federal jury ruled in her favor, saying her workplace was hostile to her religion. It awarded her just over $5,000 in economic damages and $14,000 in noneconomic damages.

By the way, I don't like Trial Lawyers. Many are noting but money grubbers. But, some actually do care and are not out to make millions off of other peoples real or supposed sufferings.

I'm not sure I like this one. Are we to take our squabbles to the courts?

Paul chastises the Corinthians for suing one another, not those in the world.

1 Corinthians 6, NASB
2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,
6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?​

The Bible doesn't address the spiritual legality of suing a non-believer, and I'd be hard pressed to name the man who verbally assaulted her for all these years as anything other than atheist.
