Right, we're always going to have to do things that conflict with our beliefs and values on some level. I had to process paperwork for companies which I considered to be unethical before, but I can't just say "I'm not doing that". Is that so different? Just because my objection is based on real world morality and not on the threats of an invisible being? I suppose I'd have to have declared this up front though. Which I didn't, I admit.
That is what I'm interested to know: are theists being up front about all this from the start? Are they making clear, "I won't do this, I won't do that..." before the employer decides whether to hire them?
If so, if they're being up front and the employer hires them anyway, then I guess that's down to their judgement. But if they spring this shit that "everyone knows about religion X" after being employed, I consider that dishonest. Because let's face it, everyone has their own version of their own religion. If they're just going to say, "Well it's in the bible", then can the employers find a verse which contradicts it and say, "Look it also says you can do it, right here."
