How do Christians think the U.S. should accomodate the practices/beliefs of other religions in the workplace?

Asked by bossob (5924points) July 5th, 2015

We’ve been talking in other threads about Christians being upset that SCOTUS declared that they have to conduct their businesses in a manner that is contrary to their beliefs. How do Christians feel about the manner in which government entities are handling the religion-based demands from other religions?

Minneapolis MN makes the national news occasionally for their efforts to accommodate Muslims in the workplace. Issues such as a separate room for prayer at the workplace, time off during the day to pray, handling pork, wearing head scarves, and being forced to uncover their heads for driver’s license photos are some of issues they’re trying to resolve.

It seems to me that we’re on a collision course: we either accommodate the beliefs of every religion, or we acknowledge that we have a secular government that is unfettered by the beliefs/practices of any religion.
