The laws enforced by EEOC define religion very broadly. The protection against religious discrimination is not limited to mainstream religions, but also applies to any lawful observances and practices that are based on one’s own sincerely held beliefs. However, mere personal preferences are not protected. In addition, social, political and economic philosophies are not covered by the laws enforced by EEOC.
