Discrimination at work on the basis of religion is illegal. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits religious discrimination at work in hiring, firing, and other conditions. Title VII includes employers with over 15 employees, and also covers federal and state governments. Employees cannot be forced to participate, or not participate, in a religious activity as a condition of their employment.

In 2006, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 2,541 charges of religious discrimination at work. The EEOC resolved 2,387 of these charges and recovered $5.7 million in monetary damages.
