I have no problem if you said "I won't apply to work on a checkout because I don't want to touch pork", but getting the job then forcing the employer to get someone else to do the task you have agreed to do in your contract is wrong.
The point is that anyone could refuse to do anything based on their religious beliefs, which they don't have to justify. There is no list of approved religions.
Then the employer will dismiss them if there is no such an article of agreement . But I see they are allowed , so the employer is not suffer .
