All religious organisations here are using it to not allow "the wrong type of people to corrupt the corporate culture of the organisation"
People are people and they will discriminate no matter how you want to legislate it I think.
Just because it's bad it doesn't mean we should allow it. Our children will be next blah de blah
If it's integral to a religious organisation's business then it's ok to be selective. If it isn't, then that's wrong. 2 wrongs don't make a right young lady!

The hiring process not just about qualification, it's also about inter-personal relationships, you wouldn't hire someone who absolutely poisons the working atmosphere just because (s)he's qualified.
I have zero tolerance to bullshit, so yes, I would choose the lesser qualified atheist/agnostic over the more qualified devout Christian any day of the week.
In a small company getting on together gets more important. Whilst it would be the most ethical thing to do, tolerating someone who annoys you for whatever reason would be counter productive literally. In some places the law is against you, and the principle, as above, is correct.
Small towns/ small communities work like this. Progress seems to think it's a bad thing. I dunno. It's one of those things I keep jumping the fence on. Hoppity hop!
