A recent Religion at Work study that surveyed UK and United States workers discovered that 19% of those surveyed had witnessed someone being judged because of their religious beliefs in the workplace.
The most common types of discrimination witnessed included being the butt of jokes, being excluded from activities, being denied time off for religious holidays, being told not to wear religious clothing, or being mocked for the food they ate.
Being a person of faith in a public way takes courage.
In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
When people authentically live out their faith, they are subjecting themselves to ridicule and persecution. Be encouraged, however, it also results in God’s eternal blessing as well.
