Kurt asked:


I work for a company run by a Chinese couple. He thinks it’s silly, but she makes most of her decisions based on the principles of Feng Shui. Some of those are personnel decisions that could potentially be in violation of employment laws, and may even violate First Amendment rights to freedom of religion. Does anyone have any experience with this or know how case law has dealt with it in the past?
Forget the religious aspect. You’ll notice that was a secondary point. I’m more interested in whether its use in personnel decisions is legal or not.
