Shall the list be continued? People's beliefs are only relevant in hiring decisions when these beliefs have the power to result in unlawful behaviour on the job.

There is a very distinct difference between beliefs (or in this case the words of a holy-book) and using those beliefs (or words) to discriminate against others.
I would never not-hire someone because of their belief. Whether they be Christian, Hindu, Jewish, etc. I would and will always hire someone based on their ethics. Discriminating against homosexuals or being complacent in their discrimination? That's bad ethics.
Your list isn't relevant. Would I hire a Jewish person? Absolutely. Would I hire a Jewish person who poured melting lead down his wife's throat? No, no I would not.
But that's just crazy self-righteous me!
