Uh, he said "same shoes." Not "same size shoes." When he said size later in the paragraph, he was talking about the size of families...

Anyway, I voted "Don't know/Other." I pretty much agree with Steph when she said it depends on the job; not all jobs require a uniform, so an employee of such a job has more freedom when it comes to what he wears.

But if dress code laws permit it, then yes, I believe religious symbols should be allowed.

I agree with this. I live near Amish and Mennonite people, and they wear their head coverings. To them in the workplace or wherever, it's a central part. Again, a lot depends on what type of work. For example, my workplace wouldn't have a problem with head coverings, but we can't wear jewelry. A lot depends on where you work, but there are going to be some exceptions. I know what a lot of schools do sometimes if there is a dispute is come in with a signed statement stating that it is part of your beliefs to wear that certain item.

Yes, everyone should be able to display their religious symbols as long as they don't interfere with the work environment. If you're wearing a shirt that says "Kill all the Christians" and you work with a bunch of Christians, that's a hostile work environment and shouldnt be allowed. But if you own 9000 "I heart Jesus" t-shirts or nothing but "There's Probably No God So Stop Worry And Enjoy Your Life" bus campaign shirts, those should be allowed.

I don't think it's important to make it obvious what faith or lack of you follow, but I do think if people wanna wear something to express it and it doesn't get in the way of their job, they should be allowed to.

A girl at my old school was in a massive thing in the papers coz she had on all these bangles and stuff, I forget what they represented but it was something religious. School rules demands no jewellery beyond I think one ring on each hand or something, and she was all blinged out. She made it personal and sued the school for stifling her religious expression. Perhaps that's another thread.. Basically just sharing that to illustrate what I mean about being free to wear something as long as it isn't against the rules where you are or poses a hygeine problem (don't wanna risk getting food under your rings or something) or a physical risk (such as wearing jewellery to do martial arts.)

I think people should be allowed to wear symbols of their faith in the work place if doesn't interfere with health and safety or hygiene for example your not usually allowed to wear jewelery if you work with food which is a matter of hygiene as well as health and safety. But yeah as long as it doesn't interfere with that or is something that is offensive and will cause disharmony in the work place as previously stated it should be allowed.

I never said the same size shoes, I said the same shoes eg. everyone has to wear pink high heels.

While i dont agree with other religious beliefs, obviously lol im Christian, I believe that anyone should b aloud to express their religious beliefs based on religious symbols in the work place. The constitution says freedom of religion remember. Just cuz people may not agree with your religion, u should be aloud to express it. people arent forced to change there beliefs or anything so what does it hurt as long as it doesnt bash another religion.

I think that religious symbols should be allowed in the work place no matter the religion, but in a tasteful, professional manner. It also depends on the type of job you have. If you work in a restaurant and you have a piercing, or a bracelet or even a ring depicting your religion (or anything, really) you should remove it. Things like that easily break and fall into food and become physical contaminants. If you feel like wearing a necklace, keep it safe so that it doesn't fall. Also, if you're working in the health system, make sure your patient isn't allergic to the metal you've decided to wear.

I feel that things like tattoos and the like should be covered up at all times.

I voted yes to all religious symbols. Everybody should be able to express their faith. That's why America is so great.

Yes to all religions.

What you wear, as long as it isn't blatantly violent or damaging, is your own personal business. No one should be able to dictate that.

Everyone should be able to wear religious symbols in the workplace as long as they aren't gaudy or obnoxious.
I wear a tiny cross necklace everywhere. Lots of people wear crosses. So, i don't see the big deal.

Yes, I think everyone should be able to express their faith, unless the symbols are a health/safety hazard. Simply showing a symbol of your faith shouldn't offend people, it's expressing what you believe, not what other people should believe.
Of course, if it's something like a t-shirt that expresses your religion but has something bashing other faiths, then it's not appropriate. Although I wouldn't count that as a religious symbol ....

I wear a cross everyday, I keep it on practically all the time so I don't see how its a problem.
