I can't figure out what religious belief is being squelched. Ok, the Pope believes that homosexuality is sinful, but I'll note that he isn't generally opposed to hiring sinners. Nor even opposed to hiring sinners who don't agree with him about whether they're sinners.
And I've never heard of any rule [1] which says that you may not hire people who don't share your religion. There's nothing in the Bible which says "Thou shalt not hire a gay accountant." [2]
[1]Though I'm willing to find out if I've missed something.
[2] Wibble alert. Did they have accounting back then? I think the Babylonians had accounting, but did it become a lost art for a while?
