Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Federal workers are permitted to proselytize to fellow employees in the workplace and agencies must protect their religious rights under guidance issued by the Trump administration.
A U.S. Office of Personnel Management memo says workers, including supervisors, can engage in "private religious expression" at work. That expression could be a polite discussion with a co-worker while on a break about "why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs," according to the memo, which was issued by OPM Director Scott Kupor.
"However, if the non-adherent requests such attempts to stop, the employee should honor the request," the July 28 memo says.
In addition, workers cannot be disciplined for being unwilling to talk about religion, the memo says.
