Religious Discrimination - What to do?

Hi,

I started to work for this company in September 2006 and originally I am from Germany. My visa status is a J-1 Trainee Visa.
But here is the deal, three employees, the CEO, his Personal Assistant and the Executive Vice President made antagonistic comments about the religion I belive in. The thing is, they didn't know that this is my religion. I would have liked to talk to the HR Manager but unforunately the Personal Assistent of the CEO was in charge of me and also in charge of the HR in this office. Therefore I had no contact person regarding to this problem.
I didn't mention that they discriminated my religion, because it was obvious that they disliked my religion and therefore I was afraid to loose my job if I say so.
I felt threatened in my religious freedom by these colleagues.
As far as I know the law forbids making statements against any religion at the work place.
If anybody could give me some legal advice on that so I can see if there is a possiblity to sue this company.

Thanks in advance and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Best,
Franziska

I'm confused. Do they or don't they know your religion?

If they don't know it is your religion then they cannot be intending to discriminate against you.

no they don't know. but do they have to know? don't you have to be careful with your statements in any case?

Please read the above articles. It should clear things up.

This guy wants "discrimination" so badly, he can taste it! It's only a ruse for attempting to stay in this country. He'll be booted out shortly.

I really don't like posts that have an ulterior motive.
