Religious discrimination is discrimination for an individual’s chosen faith, creed, or sincere belief, which may or may not be related to an established faith system. Some examples of religious discrimination may be comments regarding an individual’s chosen creed. It may relate to specific religious holidays, which some individuals will take and may even result in termination or demotion after a person reveals their chosen faith. You may be subjected to religious discrimination if you’ve put your employer on notice that you would have to take off for a specific holiday and that employer either chooses not to hire you or decides to demote you, transfer you, or even terminate you for requesting that kind of religious accommodation.
