DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE RELIGIOUS: NOTES FOR A CRITICAL REFLECTION

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze religious discrimination in work environments under the aegis of freedom as worthy of protection as opposed to the right to business freedom. With the scope of religious freedom and its limitation parametrized, the article determines in which cases and conditions conduct can be characterized as intolerance or be considered by the employer as reasonable accommodation of religion in the scope of work. To perform this analysis, a qualitative approach was used, with bibliographic and descriptive methodological procedures. It is concluded that, to protect freedom of belief and religion, liberal theory (legal policy) is used for the promotion of individual autonomy and human dignity.
