Anti-Discrimination Laws: Laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) in the United States prohibit employment discrimination based on religion, among other protected characteristics.

Hiring Practices: Employers must ensure their hiring practices are free from bias and discrimination to comply with legal standards and promote a diverse and inclusive workplace.
