It is not discrimination if you have a choice.
It is discrimination because a person who is in a similar situation as me, but who has a different religious belief as me that requires them to attend church once a week, is being offered a punishment that is basically not a punishment at all just due to the difference in our religious beliefs. I would have the very likely potential of being subjected to religious persecution and/or ridicule, at the very least, just due to my lack of established religious beliefs, while this other person is simply allowed to continue with their life as normal because of their established religious beliefs. That is discrimination.
