The Trump administration has announced that federal employees are allowed to discuss and promote their religious beliefs at work, citing constitutional protections and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Reuters reports that a memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) states that workers can attempt to persuade others of their faith and organize prayer groups outside work hours, as long as their actions are not harassing. Supervisors also may share their religious views with employees, provided the conduct is not coercive. While the memo is not legally binding, it reflects the administration’s broader push to expand religious expression in federal workplaces, following a February presidential action targeting perceived hostility to Christianity in government.
