On job aplications in the US?

Question

On job applications in the US, is it still legal to ask a person's religion.

Answer 1

Nope.  

Answer 2

No, and in 34 years of working I don't remember it ever being legal.

Answer 3

Well, I think it should be allowed, but does not have to be answered.  Furthermore, if a person owns a business they should be allowed to hire whom they wish and can discriminate on whatever grounds.  If you do not like it do not shop there or use their services.  But, if is is a corporation or other business you have to tow the line of the main office.

I work a Christian organization and I cannot remember if they did or did not ask.  It is a specific denomination and I no longer belong to that one, but I would never be fired.  I believe we even have a few people that are Hindu or Shinto  maybe even a Muslim from time to time.

Answer 4

It isn't in the UK.

Answer 5
