As another example; if my religion says that gambling is evil, I wouldn't get myself a job working at a convenience store that also sells lottery tickets.

Good point Ken... BUT...
I still have a problem with "well, if you're this religion... just don't be this... or you shouldn't do that" Why should someone's religion determine their career choice? I mean, I remember a few years back when there was this big hoo-ha about mounties not being allowed to wear turbans. So, does this make people who wear turbans any worse of an RCMP officer than those who don't? No, so who gives a crap if they wear a turban? Apparently a lot of people for no apparent reason, which is kind of the same thing I see here. Who gives a crap if they don't pick up people who are carrying liquor?
