Discrimination based solely on religion or religious beliefs is a crime, punishable by law. If you feel like a victim of discrimination based on your religion, you may have the right to file a lawsuit. Companies can not discriminate against anyone on the basis of his/her beliefs. Laws for Civil Rights also obligate a business to act if a worker is the target of harassment from co-workers in conjunction with religious beliefs. Businesses have some leeway in terms of granting time off for religious observances, they are required to make a reasonable effort for the accommodation of religious holidays and other observances.
