I disagree with the main thrust of the article . Discussing one ' s religious affiliation in a CV or an interview is inappropriate , and I would definitely be less favourably disposed towards someone who did that , even if the religion in question was my own . Similarly , I would be unimpressed if one started discussing their political views in that context , regardless if I personally agreed with them that kind of topic has nothing to do with the candidate ' s job abilities and tends to make emotions run high , so bringing it up in that context is a sign of lack of judgement and professionalism at best and a sign that the person would behave antagonistically towards coworkers with different views at worst . On the other hand , someone talking about religion on social media or so on is not an issue at all people get to have lives , opinions and passions outside their work , and as long as they do not interfere with it they are not really the employer ' s business at all .
