If you are disabled, you should have the right to “reasonable accommodation” from companies and most businesses.

Religious discrimination lawsuits in Enterprise
Religious discrimination is a criminal activity, punishable by law. If you find that you are a victim of discrimination based on your religious beliefs, you should have the right to file a lawsuit. Companies may not discriminate towards workers due to his/her beliefs. Laws for Civil Rights also obligate a business to act if an employee is a victim of harassment from supervisors or co-workers in regard to religious beliefs. Businesses have a little leeway when granting time off for religious observances, they are required to make a reasonable effort for the religious accommodations for holidays and other important occurrences.
