An: B
I disagree.
thanks it looks more like C
nope it is D for sure.....
The correct answer is B - An employer need not accommodate the religious observances or practices of its employees in the workplace.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concept of religious discrimination and the laws surrounding it.
Religious discrimination refers to treating an individual or group differently based on their religious beliefs or practices. In the United States, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals based on their religion. Title VII applies to both monotheistic and non-monotheistic religions. Therefore, option A, which states that only monotheistic religions are covered under Title VII, is incorrect.
Option C, which states that an employee who claims religious discrimination cannot sue the employer for any other violation of Title VII, is also incorrect. If an employee experiences religious discrimination, they can file a lawsuit against their employer for violating Title VII. They may also be able to sue for any other violations of Title VII that may have occurred.
Option D, which states that religious organizations can give preferential employment to individuals of a particular religion, is partially correct. Religious organizations are generally exempt from certain aspects of Title VII that relate to religious discrimination in employment practices. This exemption allows them to give preference to individuals of a particular religion when making employment decisions. However, it is important to note that this exemption applies specifically to religious organizations and may not extend to non-religious employers.
Therefore, the correct answer is B - an employer is required to accommodate the religious observances or practices of its employees in the workplace.
