Forget about the sexuality part, as bad as it is, but to religiously discriminate?

I think that their argument would be that they’re not religiously discriminating. You could be a Hindu, you just have to agree that you subscribe to Christian values, participate in group Christian prayers during training and management meetings, and adhere to the company’s close scrutiny of your family life.

I’ve done this myself for jobs*, but that was working in a Catholic school, not selling chicken. Actual religious organizations have leeway on this kind of thing. I would not have thought that commercial institutions did, so much, but I don’t think the law is entirely hard and fast on all these points.

*Except for the family life part.
