Freedom of religion is a fundamental principle in American society, ensuring that individuals have the right to practice their chosen faith without fear of discrimination or harassment. The law not only guarantees this right but also provides protection against harassment based on sincerely held religious, ethical, or moral beliefs.
While occasional remarks or discussions about religious beliefs may not amount to harassment, when offensive comments or mistreatment become pervasive and create a hostile work environment, it crosses the line into religious harassment. It is important to recognize that religious harassment can and should be addressed through legal means.

Taking Action: 3 Must-Do Steps for Religious Harassment Victims
- Report It: It is crucial to report incidents of religious harassment to your supervisor or human resources department. In some cases, your employer may not be held liable for the harassment if it has not been reported. If your company does not have a formal procedure for harassment complaints, consider submitting a written letter to management outlining the incidents.
- Document It: Keeping thorough documentation is key to building a strong case. Maintain detailed notes of the religious harassment you have experienced, including specific instances, dates, and any witnesses present. This evidence will support your claim and strengthen your case.
- Fight It: Contact PLBH to seek assistance in fighting back against religious harassment. We will guide you through the process of filing a formal complaint with the relevant state authorities, ensuring that your case is thoroughly investigated. Additionally, our experienced attorneys will provide legal representation and pursue necessary actions to secure compensation for the abuse you have endured.
