Companies are increasingly facing sensitive questions over how much they must accommodate employee religious claims. They might find some guidance in a Nebraska court’s in-depth discussion that arose when a clever inmate sued for accommodation as a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism as it is sometimes called, “promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools,” according to an entry in Wikipedia. Its rituals involve pirates, a beer volcano and strippers.
