California and Federal laws prohibit employers from religiously discriminating against their current or potential employees. Failing to hire someone due to their agnostic beliefs, for example, could be grounds for civil action. This protection of employee religious rights may not have been possible if The Civil Rights Act never materialized in 1964.
