I don’t think it’s about liking or accepting a religion. It’s about practicing a religion in the workplace that’s not acceptable and I think that’s in pretty much all workplaces.

We’re allowed to have religious artifacts at our desk, like a cross on your bulletin board or maybe tape a prayer there, but conducting a religious service is grounds for termination. Isn’t that a given?

Evenin all, btw :)

It’s not even about practicing a religion in the workplace.

It’s about engaging in threatening and belligerent behavior toward a fellow employee. That’s the whole issue. The behavior had a religious tone to it, but the bottom line is that the behavior was threatening, frightening and bellligerent.

And the university needs to put the religious stuff to the side, and deal with the threatening behavior, no matter if the employees try to characterize it as “religious”.
