Mmmm. Bacon.
The case law on an employer's duty to accomodate religious practices is a train wreck. I'm not sure how to deal with the problem of a non-religious person's effect on observant people. An employer can fire someone for calling a fellow employee a gullible fucking idiot, but can't fire that same someone for putting up a locker poster of Cartman nailed to a cross, which says essentially the same thing to Christians? We allow people to wear Stars of David, but not to put up signs with a Star of David with a circle and slash through it, which arguably is also religious expression?
Why would an employer be liable for firing someone who failed to comply with a "no pork" rule when they wouldn't be liable for firing someone who repeatedly brought BBQ dog into the lunchroom and said loudly, "Mmmmm, poodle"?
