Religion

by their God-bothering Jesus freak co-workers are also free to tell them to fuck right off? Politely and non-harassingly, of course. At my old job (a large private corporation) there was a co-worker in my department who was into that shit, and one day he left his church propaganda pamphlets on everyone's desks. HR was immediately notified and it never happened again, which is how that should work, whether your employer is private or the government.

Will this policy translate to private employers? The way it works now is that your boss can't make you go to prayer meetings or any other such thing as a condition of your employment - raises, promotions, performance reviews, etc. If you work for the government, though, and your boss asks you to attend some sort of religious event and you decline because it's not in your belief system or the lack of one, do you have any recourse if the boss punishes you because he/she concludes you don't love Jesus?
