I'm beginning to hate religious people.

[Strongbad]

For example, I have recently begun interviewing for jobs, and very frequently, the interviewer will casually ask "So where do you and your wife go to church?"

It's illegal for an interviewer to ask you about your religious views in a job interview, and I would refuse to answer. Or, I would answer honestly and then sue them when you don't get the job.

Believe me, I'd much rather reply "It's none of your fucking business whether I go to church or not, and that has nothing to do with my qualifications, so now can we get on with the interview?" But, here in the deep south, it doesn't pay to come across that way. It is better to play along and hope I get the job. Besides, if I sued them, my attorney would be Christian, their attorney would be Christian, as would the judge and all of the jurors; I don't think I'd get very far. I know it's illegal, but the "good old Christian boys club" is a reality here.

As a side note, my ex business partner was an extremely devout Christian. The day he pulled me aside and told me that we would never hire a "nigger" in our company is the day I decided to sell my half of the business to him and get the hell out of there.
