Q. Is it discriminatory to prevent employees from expressing their religious beliefs?
A. It may be illegal to stop employees from expressing religious beliefs. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of religion. It is also illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who file discrimination complaints.
Any employer with 15 or more employees must accommodate employees’ religious beliefs unless doing so creates undue hardship. Moreover, it cannot restrict religious expression more than it restricts other forms of expression. For example, an employer who allows employees to make political statements, but prohibits religious statements could be in violation of Title VII.
