Actually that is the case and my argument lest you forget. The OP is indeed able to not hire a Christian based on the prejudice he may have against the legitmate practices of that religion and that in His backwards monkey society is ok.
You don't seem to understand the argument monkey man... In a good and decent Human society their are laws that tell companies who want to strip an indivisual of any right he or she may have to be different than every other drone that they are not allowed to discriminate against people due to their race, Religion, or gender. In this case discrimination would include an unrealistic demand for a worker to work on a holy day when in fact it is not the companies expectation that any of it's workers be made to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. (as their is a max of 48 hours work week in the UK)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_labour_law
to say 8 of those hours must be spent on a Sunday out of a 168 hour week is intentionaly targeting Christians.
That's how we do it in 'Merica. (and that is how it is supposed to be done in the UK as well https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-r...on-at-work ) But in a monkey society where the mob rules/Pop culture is king. Christianity has fallen out of fashion. In fact in that part of the world it has become fashionable to hate anything Christian. Therefore it IS Indeed OK For the OP and His country to discriminate against religious people. Particually Christians.
Again in the US and in the UK according to the Laws of Man it is discrimination.. but in your monkey/pop culture society, the OP is a 'hero' for not hiring the Christian.
3. Discrimination at work
The law protects you against discrimination at work, including:
dismissal
employment terms and conditions
pay and benefits
promotion and transfer opportunities
training
recruitment
redundancy
Some forms of discrimination are only allowed if they’re needed for the way the organisation works, eg:
a Roman Catholic school restricting applications for admission of pupils to Catholics only
employing only women in a health centre for Muslim women
ooops I guess you didn't bother looking up the laws in the OP's country either..
How many times do you need to hear it?
They need her to work on Sundays. It's necessary for the business. All the other religious people hired there have no trouble at all with not having their sacred day off. Hiring her would be discriminatory towards them.
Stop conflating the debate on whether employers should have the right to discriminate with this particular case, in which there is no discrimination. To the contrary, it's avoided by applying the same standard to all religious employees-no sacred day off, period.
And what the fuck does pop culture have to do with it out of all things?
Nobody is calling the OP a hero. Most people here simply agree the decision was reasonable and just towards all employees.
