If you’re getting into a cab and the driver only glances at your backward baseball cap and says, “No Jew!” and speeds off, is he protected from any legal repercussions?
You’re already free to do that. You just can’t deny them service because of their race, national origin, gender, religion, etc. In theory, at least, this bill would override that restriction.
The same, sadly, holds true in many other parts of the country, sadly. Especially where you’ve seen these sorts of religious laws intended to benefit Christians - they just weren’t thought through. (E.g. the Louisiana law allowing public monies for private Christian religious schools that - gasp - also could be used for Muslim schools, much to the horror of the people who supported it.)

Are all gods omnipotent? There are millions of gods, but I think only a few have such grandiose claims made about them.

Well, I think we were talking about the bible, and that particular god is very fond of claims of omnipotence, or at least that god’s followers are fond of claims of omnipotence on that god’s behalf. Of course in the bible you don’t even have to get out of the first book before the LORD gets scared shitless of people building a large building and decides that his only defense is to make us squabble amongst ourselves so that we aren’t united to challenge him, so I’d take omnipotence with a grain of salt.
You hear that God? Once we get this racism problem solved we are coming for you!

And much like other states where these blatant attempts at usurping the establishment clause are found, Michigan’s congressional districts are heavily gerrymandered. Which makes it rather difficult to ever shake free from the asshattery proffered by religionists masquerading as politicians on the state level.
As a taxpayer of this state, I can hardly wait to start paying for yet another losing lawsuit that our religionist attorney general appeals up to the SCOTUS. /s
