Whatever webelieve in, it is our choice.
As one Redditor shared, the workplace is precisely where personal beliefs should be kept to yourself.
Still, that made her wonder if that was the right thing to do.

Naturally, in a big company, there were a lot of different people with various views.
One day, she contacted IT to seek help with a problem that shed been dealing with.
As time passed, the poster left the company she worked at without encountering the IT worker ever again.
She never emailed me back, and I never heard about it.
I thought I had an ambiguous situation to share, which could generate an interesting discussion.
But the posts reception by the commenters didnt surprise the poster.
How people responded very much depended on their background and subculture, summarized the OP.
Everybody has their own beliefs, and that is a territory in which boundaries should be respected.
Yet, oftentimes, people with less popular beliefs might find themselves being discriminated against at work.
To learn how to deal with it, a good starting point would be learning your rights.
Additionally, everyworkercan freely ask for their beliefs to be accommodated at the place they work in.
Additionally, religious accommodations may not always be granted.
Yet, it is usually in the workplaces best interests to confirm that their employees are happy, too.
Next, its a good idea to start incorporating and advocating for inclusive practices.
And lastly, create safe spaces.
Its unfortunate, but not everyone around will be as supportive as you might be.
So, in the end, work and religion can definitely coexist.
But perhaps it can be done a little bit better than how the OP did it.
