I am not arguing your stance and i agree with it, and I agree if one is claims religious freedom it should stop there. the truth is however, if you're applying for a job, and this is a requirement for that job that's it - one can try discrimination but it may not go anywhere, it hasn't yet. they will argue you can seek employment elsewhere. that's just what I have seem personally and the shit I have read about. Big difference between what should be and what is.

they will argue you can seek employment elsewhere
They will lose if you have the spine to:
1) Apply for said job.
2) Politely decline the jab citing Title VII in writing.
3) Wait for them to either provide a reasonable accomodation or decline to hire you.
4) File an EEOC complaint and litigate.
I fully agree that some employers will try to push you to apply elsewhere, but they will fold if you follow those four simple steps. I'd be shocked if more than a few percent of employers are stupid enough to do more than quietly issue a reasonable accomodation because "muy scares of the coof" vs "EEOC crawling up our ass with a six figure penalty and attracting a class action from every other person who applied while this policy was in place"...is not a hard choice. Even for the most retarded of NPCs.
