It’s Okay to Ask An Employer About Their Religious Views


With the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Supreme court case, an employer's religious beliefs can determine job benefits. While an employer shouldn't ask you about your religious beliefs, you're allowed to ask them.


Over at Entrepreneur, they tackle how employers should handle questions about religion:



Honesty and transparency must be a top priority during the hiring process. If religion is a core value of the company's ownership and this influences the culture, then hiring managers should express these values during the hiring process.


For example, if an owner's religious values prompt the company to not include certain health care benefits that most people consider routine, candidates deserve to know the corporate stance so they can decide whether they want to work there.



Remember, you aren't asking about your interviewer's personal religious beliefs. You want to know if the company's beliefs are going to affect you. If you're concerned, the interview process is the time to speak up.
