Workplace Discrimination Against Atheists

The workplace is meant to be a safe place for people of all worldviews. However, religion can become an extremely divisive issue in a workplace. Employees may find themselves at a disadvantage at work because of their beliefs. However, some employers might also discriminate against employees who do not hold beliefs in a religion or believe in a religion without a god.

Fairness for Atheists

Atheism comes in many forms. This can include individuals who do not believe in any sort of religion and those who believe in certain faiths that do not have a specific god, like some forms of Buddhism. People who do not believe in a god have the right to work in a business that does not judge them for these beliefs. The following problems can arise when a person is discriminated against because of his or her religious views:

• Disadvantages for job promotion
• Disadvantages for wage increase
• Retaliatory behavior towards that employee
• Slurs or insults directed at that employee

All employees should be able to enjoy fair and equal treatment in the workplace. If an employer cannot provide this environment, the employee may be subjected to illegal discrimination.
