What if your religion required you to wear a beard but your employer has a no-facial-hair policy for all its delivery drivers?
What if your religion required you to pray every day at sunset, but your job on a factory line made it difficult to take a break during your shift?
What if your religion required you to shun violence but your job entailed doing tech support for a client that makes violent computer games?
These are all real-life situations, and they are a sampling of a growing battle going on in today’s workplace — a battle between what has long been a secular work world in the U.S. and the ever-increasing religiosity permeating in our society.
