Emerson on Religion
Religion has been in the news a lot lately. As discussed before on this blog, employers have to be careful about letting religion be too much involved in day-to-day workplace activities. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act could be implicated and be the basis of a religious discrimination charge.

“In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the differences between their own creed and yours; whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all religions of humanity.”
