So you're saying that you would reject otherwise qualified candidates based on their religion (a protected class in the U.S.), which is illegal?

And how would you figure out if someone was a biblical literalist or a garden variety Christian or an athiest anyway, unless it’s somehow relevant to work?
It’s not illegal for me to reject non-Flying Spaghetti Monsterarians on the basis of their religion. It is unconstitutional for the govmint to do so.
Actually if you’re hiring - religion is a protected class and it is illegal for you to discriminate based on it.
I was under the misapprehension that candidate meant political candidate and not job candidate. My mistake.
