Religious Discrimination

[goddamnit]

Well, if they seem equally likely to offer what I'm seeking--in this scenario, logic and critical thinking--then it would have to be a random choice between them.

I stated that without knowing what their religions are, they seem equally likely to perform well (in this example). It is entirely up to the hiring manager (reader) to decide what to think and do upon becoming aware of the religion (or lack thereof).

Of course, you and I probably differ in that respect. I think a person can not be religious without failing to critically think in the context of religion, and is therefore more likely to fail at critical thinking in another context. Obviously, this is not absolute and there are bright Christians. Also, my assessment would have nothing to do with a correlation between atheism and academic education; it would have everything to do with critical thinking and logic.
