Religious Discrimination

All Americans have the right to choose and practice their religion. Thus, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states a provision prohibiting employment discrimination based on religious belief or practice. This implies that employers and companies, with 15 or more employees, must not implement any policies that will single out workers and job applicants based on presumptions regarding their religion.

Religious discrimination is considered illegal on various employment terms and conditions such as in hiring, terminating, salary, benefits and job assignments among others. Federal government agencies, labor organizations and employment agencies are also covered by this principle.

Title VII also includes these provisions:

• Employers should not give less or more favor to an employee or job applicant due to his/her religion – except in some cases wherein religious accommodation is allowed.


• Employers should not force an employee to join or opt out a religious gathering or activity as a requirement for employment


• Employers must implement reasonable accommodations for the employers of different religions as long as it will not entail undue hardship for them.


• Employers must implement steps to avoid religious discrimination among the employees.

In addition, covered employers are prohibited in exercising retaliatory moves against an employee who opposed discriminative employment practices, filed a discrimination charge or testified against them.
