Overview
Religious discrimination is where people are treated differently, especially at the workplace due to differences in their religious beliefs, religious discrimination, retrievable from
. Equally, religious discrimination is manifested where people are treated differently not because they belong to a certain religion but in this case because they lack certain religion. Religious discrimination is manifested in a number of ways in the workplace or any other public setting. Where religious discrimination is suffered, there is a high possibility that victims do suffer other forms of illegal discrimination. This is because the main reason why people differ in their religious beliefs is because of their cultural origin, which embraces different religions. Therefore, discrimination like race discrimination or citizenship discrimination. In some cases, discrimination is manifested among member minorities. Some of them are as discussed below:
Religious discrimination is evident where members of religious minorities do not stand equal chances with those of religious majority towards hiring, firing, and even promotions. Members from discriminated religious are not hired quickly in comparison to those from religious majorities. Moreover, they suffer firing more frequently than members of religious majorities. On the other hand, they take long before they are promoted when compared to the promotion of members from religious majorities.
Religious discrimination is also evident where members from a certain religion are harassed at the workplace. Such harassment might emanate from their other employees or, in extreme cases, from managers. Such people can be challenged against their beliefs, which undermines what they believe in. In other cases, they are discriminated in that their religious beliefs programs and not recognized and accommodated. Therefore, it seems like they are doomed to disown their religion or continue taking punishment from religious majorities, religious discrimination, retrievable from https://www.workplacefairness.org/religious-discrimination.
Various laws are fortunately enacted to ensure that religious discrimination is not exercised in an organization. Such laws are federal laws which are enacted by the EEOC. Federal laws are very reliable because they ensure that those who are involved in any form of religious discrimination; they are held accountable for their actions. Regulations are also enacted to protect members of religious minorities from being discriminated against. The EEOC also exercises these laws. For intensification of observed equality among members of different religions, memoranda of understanding are used. Commission decision is also taken in charge, to keep watch on those who might be breaking the law and probably discriminating members from a given religion. Commission decision, in this case, is concerned with charging those who are found guilty of religious discrimination to discourage repletion of the same by other embers. When these legal bodies are in operation, it becomes effective to eliminate religious discrimination and other probable discriminations, laws, and guidance, retrievable from

.
Opinion statement
In my opinion, religious discrimination can be an undermining factor that kills the motivation of the victimized party. This is because they can feel isolated and disconnected from their peers who they work together on a daily basis. These adverse effects imply that an organization where religious discrimination is exercised is likely to be less productive. This is because of the ongoing religious conflicts of interest between members of different religions. Moreover, such an organization can suffer a blow od their reputation because they are not able to treat their employees equally and ensure their satisfaction at the workplace. However, because it is possible to have other forms of discrimination that are triggered by religious differences, it is important to have the legal system engaged in this topic. This is to provide legal security to members from a religious minority group or ethnic, religious group.
