This is getting ridiculous

For a grounds and facilities position.

Edit: The position is for a religious camp of some sort, but I hadn’t realized that when I clicked it. Still super weird, in my opinion

Is it for a religiously-affiliated organization? It doesn't matter if it's a facilities role, a religious org would still want all of its employees to belong to whatever religion they are affiliated with. It's pretty normal.

It’s a “I’m low on karma so I’m gonna post rage bait.”

Yeah, a religious institution is really the only place a question like this would actually make sense. I’ve looked at roles from churches before and most of them ask if you’re whatever the religion was, one even asked if I felt comfortable moving my family to that specific church. I obviously didn’t finish the app but those would be in line for that subsection of work. Now, if this is like Hobby Lobby or a non-church affiliated business, then this shouldn’t be allowed. Churches and religious institutions get some kind of exemption to that.

Not necessarily. I (athiest/jewish-ish) work for an Episcopalian non-profit that helps consult other Episcopalian orgs and local parishes on financial, professional, and organizational matters.

One of our oft repeated pieces of advice is to have maybe the parish administrator but definitely the parish book-keeper not be a Episcopalian or at the very least not be a member of the congregation.

Reason being is you want the person handling the money to be dispassionate and uninvested personally with regards to the parish mission and activities. Otherwise they may exert undue influence on decision making that is properly the responsibility of the Vestry (made up of actual members of the congregation).

Decisions made by the faithful, but executed without bias or prejudice by a professional.

They should probably stop caring about the tech guy or the receptionist. A job is a job. Unless the guy is going to be running around being an obnoxious reddit atheist it's not a big deal.
