Study guide/discussion question questions for "Faith at Work" by RUSSELL SHORTO:

How does Shorto see the practice of religion in America?
According to Shorto, with respect to religious activities, what is legal and what is not legal in the workplace?
What is an affinity group?

Here are some discussion questions:
Do you think Bank should allow their tellers to pray for customers?

Do you think that colleges should allow their structures to pray for their students? Do you have the right to apply for a job in a secular company not outwardly Christian?

Do you the right to expect your bank, grocery store, and college to be secular, not contaminated by religiosity?

Should religious groups be allowed the same privileges and benefits that companies offer to ethnic groups and gay and lesbian groups?

Should companies allow proselytizing?

Is proselytizing harassment or discrimination?

When religious groups engage the culture, is it possible for your message not to get contaminated? Can you keep your message pure?
