What is Religious Discrimination?

Religious discrimination occurs when an employer's actions reflect bias due to an employee's religious preferences. Whenever an employer's religious preferences and partialities play a part in the choice to hire, fire, promote or demote, it is considered religious discrimination. This type of discrimination is part of the wide spectrum of employment discrimination and is illegal under federal law.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that an employee cannot be discriminated against due to his/her religion, despite whether the employee is Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish or any other religion. This extends to prohibiting employers from allowing an employee's religious beliefs or practices impact decisions or to cause them to be treated differently.
