If employers can make benefit decisions based on their religious beliefs, should they have to state those beliefs before hiring (including all details that will impact employees)?

Question

Examples would be, a CEO that owns an organization that will not cover cancer treatments (because stem cells are used in development), not allowing vaccines to be covered, not allowing birth control coverage, etc. 
   
Bonus questions: 
1. When should an employer have to disclose this information so the employee can make the best decisions? 
   
2. What religion states this is what an employer must do to be faithful?

Accepted Answer

No, employer should have any power to hire or terminate a person based on religious beliefs that's discrimination and it's unacceptable and intolerable. 
Employers need to disclose their beliefs online and during the interview process of hiring, so individuals can weigh the pros and cons of working at that company. 
Employers need to mind their FUCKING business (no pun intended) when it comes to religious beliefs of their employees.

Answer

An employer should make this known very early on in the application process, preferably before salary or other benefits are even discussed. 
I think that all 3 of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have "rules" about this, but since the biggest group is Christian, there is a far greater likelihood that a potential employee would have to deal with them.

Answer

If you can hire and fire based on your religion, you need to disclose that before hiring.

Answer

No, just no.

Thankfully that type of crap is illegal where I live. It violates the benifits part of our labour laws.

Answer

I still believe that people hold religious beliefs, corporations do not. If you want the legal benefits of being incorporated then in my opinion you do not get to impose personal religious beliefs on employees. I think for a very few groups (non-profits) an exception can continue to exist.
That said, if this new procedure stands up in court then I believe every company who intends to impose any kind of religious or moral restriction should be required to make that information immediately public. Employees have the right to know.

Answer

Religion should be what it’s supposed to be, a private relationship between you and your god that you believe in, if you believe in one. It should in no way impact anyone else in any way shape or form because not everyone will hold your religious beliefs. That could even be said for people within the same religion because not everyone interprets scriptures the same way. Religion doesn’t belong in state or in professional settings. Unless of course your job is within your religious community. Only place outside of home it should intervene is within your place of worship.

Answer

I think it should be stated in the interview. You should absolutely know what's covered and not covered in order to make the best decision.

Answer

My husband works for a catholic employer and they notified my husband of this prior to his hire.  I have no issue with it.  We discussed it and I knew I wouldn't have my birth control paid for and if I needed/wanted an abortion it wouldn't be covered unless it's for specific reasons.
I'm actually fine with it because I saw it presented to us prior to his hire.  If he didn't like it he didn't have to take the job.

Answer

I voted yes because I think we have the right to know what kind of shit show we are signing up to make money for.
But really I wanna know, Kay, if you think this will pass the Supreme Court? Legally speaking will this “religious liberty” crap even stand up?

Answer

Ugh I accidentally hit no...
