Re: Employment Discrimination Based on Religion

I agree, if your religion actually causes you not to be able to do the job, then you don't even need the job. If you are starving and actually need the job to survive then you need to put your religion aside just at work. God wouldn't want you to starve and die.

When I say this, I'm thinking of People in drugstores or Doctors who don't believe in medicine, religious dress codes interferring with something like an astronaut with some kind of helment that's nessessary, or yes, working on the Sabbith or holy day. Christians work on Sunday even though we aren't really supposed to but if we need to, we need to.

But if you have worked a perfect job, and then someone gets promoted and goes "You're a religion I don't like, get out, your fired" That's bad...
