Religious Discrimination

Religious Discrimination
If you are not a hiring manager, pretend you are one. Two applicants try for the same position. You believe one is an atheist and the other is a Christian. How might you arrive at the belief? Well, this example is an imagined situation, so I will leave that up to your imagination. (Maybe your firm's cameras saw a Darwin bumper sticker on one candidate's vehicle and a Jesus fish on the other when they came for interviews?)

Before knowing about the religion of these candidates, they seem equally likely to offer what you are seeking. But, as it turns out, this is a job that requires logic and critical thinking, and you now know that one is an atheist and the other is a Christian. If you have a personal preference to work with an atheist or religious person, leave that factor out of the decision. Would your awareness that one applicant is an atheist and the other is a Christian, tip the scale and lead you to select the atheist?

If your answer is "yes," then do you accept that religious discrimination is ok?

If your answer is "no," are you sure you did not fall for a societal trap by treating religious discrimination as if it is racial discrimination?
