I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds like a clear-cut case of religious discrimination to me.
You say in a follow-up comment, "I think it can't be religious discrimination because the company owner is also a Christian." But no, that's not how the law works. Discrimination on the basis of religion is illegal no matter how close or far apart the people involved ...

The theory would be that because of federal law prohibiting employers from discriminating on the basis of religion, an employer would have to make a reasonable accommodation to the religious employee's requirements. Thus if your religion prohibits working on Friday, if it is reasonable to do so, the employer must allow you to work some other day. However, if ...

The law doesn't distinguish between two Christians with divergent beliefs, or between an atheist and a Christian (obviously with divergent beliefs). The law simply does not care what religion you have, or whether you have one. The law just says "follow the law!".
The complication is that part of the First Amendment which says that the law is to be neutral ...

It depends on the law in your town. The municipality would be responsible for maintaining sidewalks, unless pursuant to that law, the "require the owners and occupants of a lot or premises to remove all snow and ice from the sidewalks in front...", which puts the burden on you. A person is generally required to exercise reasonable care when walking in winter ...

Ok so after some searching I found out this link: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/vehicles/registration/title-registration-info.htm
In here there is a last section as follows:
All other transfers as gifts are subject to the state inspection laws.
Gifts of vehicles that are titled out-of-state are not accepted.
So it seems I have to have the title under ...
