As a society, we are often eager to protest and demonstrate outrage when religious freedoms are infringed, at least when it comes to anybody denying a religious Christian their desire to pray, which has its own flexible schedule and could be catered to just about anywhere, or scheduled around break times. Why would we not equally be outraged when somebody of a different religion feel religious duty to also pray? In particular, religions where prayer times are not on a flexible schedule, we profess being a nation of religious freedom, yet we cannot even cater to break times that may be neccessary for another persons religious duties? Five minutes, DHL. I did not decide to avoid ever using your service over a delivery being five days late in the past, yet you are willing to fire employees because they only ask 5 minutes for religious obligations?? Is it worth losing business from customers intelligent enough to see through cleverly disguised discriminatory policy? Call it whatever you want, disguise it however you think possible, but unless you require your Christian workers to work Sunday mornings, I see it only as discrimination, something I do not personally cater to. If you would fire anybody for their religious duties, then it should either be assumed that you would be equally willing to fire all persons guilty of having religious duties, or admit to being unfair and discriminatory.
