I'm going to say most likely it isn't. From what I've read it doesn't sound like the owner was intentionally being discriminatory, but rather just thought "hey, I know, I'll offer this discount to get more business on Sundays." You don't even have to be a believer to get a church bulletin - hell, you could probably fake one.

Now, if the owner refused to give the discount to someone who had a bulletin from a mosque or a synagogue then it would be discrimination, and likely illegal given what the laws are.
