This writer from the Arkansas Times staff doesn't seem to think so.
I'm assuming from the content of this piece that the author is of a non-religious bent, and it's certainly difficult to determine whether or not his/her assessment of discrimination against the religious and non-religious is based on verifiable statistical facts, or simply anecdotal observation from his/her experience and others who share a similar worldview.
It's easy to allow our observation of reality to be clouded by our own underlying biases. This is the theme I introduced earlier this week. And lest you think I'm simply responding against this person's perspective, I'm not. That bent toward bias approach to life extends to people of every stripe, including Christians.
I would be very interested to see if there is actual scientific data out there to confirm/deny this claim. Being a Christian, I suppose there are ample evidences of discrimination against non-Christians, just as there are against Christians.
I do take some issue with aspects of his/her analysis. For example, he/she writes,
Religious discrimination exists, certainly, but not against the Christian majority. Let a candidate for any public office in America confess to being a nonbeliever, as many Americans are, and he's not only assured of defeat and ostracism, he's likely to be physically assaulted.
I agree that there are numerous examples where someone with a worldview different than our own faces ostracism, but the idea that someone is "likely to be be physically assaulted" seems to indicate more of this author's bias than actual reality. After all, it's the religious about whom he/she is speaking. Granted, I can't speak for the Islamic believers among our nation, but it is the extremely rare case for a Christian in this country to actually physically assault another person based on differences about their beliefs.
Anyway, I bring this to your attention for analysis and dialogue. I do know that there are folks from all ends of the worldview continuum who regularly visit The Daily Detour. So, I would encourage you to engage on this from your perspectives, but be sure to keep it civil and productive. 
It took me all of 30 seconds to find some data, and it actually supports the writer's supposition. (I didn't adequately vet this research, so I don't stand behind it. Do with it what you will.)

Personally, I don't see how this could be anything but true. Considering this country consist of a Christian religious super-majority (~80%), it would require 4 times as much discrimination by all non-Christians (not just atheists) to have collectively more discrimination than is done by Christians. That seems quite far-fetched to me.
To me, this whole discussion of discrimination against Christians sad. 80% of the population...how exactly does one go about discriminating against oneself? Sure there is discrimination, but it can be no where the magnitude or verocity that is received by other minority groups (not just religious, but race, sex, age, etc.)
