Title VII allows religious organizations and religious educational institutions (those organizations whose purpose and character are primarily religious) to hire and employ people who share their own religion. In other words, it is not unlawful religious discrimination for a qualifying employer to limit hiring in this way.
Courts also apply a ministerial exception that prevents certain employment discrimination claims by the employees of religious institutions because those employees perform vital religious duties at the core of the mission of the religious institution.
Courts and the EEOC consider and apply, on a case-by-case basis, any religious defenses to discrimination claims under Title VII and other applicable laws.
