Religious discrimination is a crime, punishable by law. If you find that you are a victim of discrimination based on your religious beliefs, you should have the right to sue for it. Employers can not discriminate towards people just because of his/her religion. Laws for Civil Rights also obligate a business to act if an employee complains of harassment from co-workers or supervisors in regard to religious beliefs. Businesses have a little leeway in terms of granting an employee time away from work for religious observance, they are obligated to make a fair effort for the religious accomodations for holidays and other practices.
