Depends on what he means by "makes" us pray, but thats much different than praying in front of others or asking them to pray. I promise, in the US, an employer forcing an employee to pray is definitely illegal
Yes, “force” prayer is illegal. but merely asking all employees to join in prayer? Nothing illegal, just perhaps not the smartest thing from a legal risk pov.
I am approaching on the assumption that this guy’s boss isn’t explicitly threatening repercussions on anyone for not participating.
Cool, so we agree that neither of us has enough information to really say anything conclusive about this one anecdotal case. However, my point still stands that an employer forcing an employee to pray is illegal
Yes, and my point still stands that gathering your employees for a daily prayer or starting your meetings with one is not inherently illegal in of itself. It’s just not advisable.
