The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would allow federal contractors to factor in religion in hiring a person, a move advocates say would enable employers to apply a religious litmus test and condone discrimination against the LGBTQ community and other groups.
Advocacy groups argue the rule authorizes discrimination and allows religious employers to make adherence to religious tenants a condition of employment. "The department's regulations for a long time have allowed religious organizations to take applicants and employees religion into account when making employment decisions, that's not new, this proposal only seeks to clarify who qualifies as a religious organization and what religion means under the law. That's it," an official with the Labor Department told ABC News.
The rule is likely to face legal challenges from civil rights groups that say it legalizes discrimination based on a religious litmus test. The rule defines religion as “all aspects of religious observance or beliefs,” though the government does not define what kinds of religious practices would be considered.
