Freedom of religion?!

There's this cute young woman in a fast food place near here who has 
told me several times that she loves my pentagram around my neck. So 
we started talking today and she said that she likes pentagrams but 
her boss won't let her wear one at work because it "offends 
customers". But they will allow people to wear crosses at work! 

I told her that I'm personally offended by crosses but I think that if 
we have freedom of religion, people should be able to wear whatever 
they want.

I'm really offended by this. 

Is it legal for a company to allow people to wear crosses to work, but 
not symbols of other religions like Paganism, like this place has 
done?

The difference between a libertarian and an authoritarian is that the
authoritarian thinks most people are too stupid, evil, and/or incompetent
to be trusted with guns or other potentially dangerous things ( like liberty! )
,but that  government is not. - MB ( me )

That's my opinion. To email me, remove both spam proofing X's in my email
address. If you have anything negative to say, please do it in the newsgroups
and not in my private email box. Hostile or harassing email will probably be
instantly deleted and may result in complaints to the party's ISP. Oh, and
don't even bother whining to me about the long sig. It's netiquette, not any
law. If you don't like it, don't read it.
