That's right, and in those cases you can have a sensible discussion and raise your concerns. You cannot however have a sensible discussion about arbitrary bullshit.
When I worked in pensions I had ethical dilemmas, sometimes my work was concerning a company I had big problems with for one reason or another. But sadly, each job is going to have things you really don't want to do. If I complained about this, I wouldn't have got any support, nor should I get any. It was my job to do it, and my personal feelings about the company are irrelevant. (I'm not saying I knew secret information or something, just that I considered them a bad company). So if instead I pipe up about my religion, saying I can't do this pension paperwork because blah blah on a Friday can't write the letter g while wearing one shoe, why should I suddenly be given special treatment?
Religious freedom, within the confines of the laws and regulations that everyone is expected to follow. Otherwise you have anarchy! And no one wants to see that just yet.
