""UNLAWFUL EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]

(a) Employer practices

It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.""

nDavid, as much as I would like to agree with you.... we are talking about a fallen world that cares very little for religious belief.

While it might be codified that one cannot discriminate based on religious belief, we have seen in practice where religious belief (protected legally) comes in contact with some other protected class, religious belief loses.
