What guidelines are there regarding religious practice in the workplace?
Guidelines on Religious Exercise and Religious Expression in the Federal Workplace were issued by the President on August 14, 1997. In general, the government should allow employees to express their religious beliefs in the federal workplace to the same extent that it allows them to express other non-work-related beliefs. So, if the facility allows employees to use facilities on their own time for recreational or social purposes, it should allow them to use the facilities for religious meetings also. Caveat: The permission given by the facility must not give the impression to a reasonable observer that this is government endorsement of religion. Individuals may express religion in their private workspace, not open to the public, by putting up a poster or keeping a religious book on their desk. However, such items in a public area might be construed as government endorsement of religion.
