Does religion have its place in the workplace?

According to the article, "God Wants You To Work Harder," by James Dennis Lorusso, there is a growing belief among advocates that says "bringing spirituality into the culture of business will not only enhance the quality of individual working lives, but also drastically alter the broader conduct of business across the planet."

This raises the question of, what religion? All religion?

How is religion looked at in your business or facility? Are there current or past issues among differing religions in your place or work? If so, how do you deal with those issues? Is it easy or difficult for a person practicing a particular religion to get important religious holidays off?

In a culture and society that is growing more diverse everyday, is religion something that should have more of a presence in the workplace?
