Title VII states: "Employers must reasonably accommodate employees sincerely held religious practices unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer."
Hmm, that is a good point, and one that I was unaware of.
And in fact, title VII also says:
it shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees, for an employment agency to classify, or refer for employment any individual, for a labor organization to classify its membership or to classify or refer for employment any individual, or for an employer, labor organization, or joint labor*management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining programs to admit or employ any individual in any such program, on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise
So, if a hospital hires a member of a religion that doesn't believe in practicing medicine, then it's their fault, and they are liable.
