The
North Carolina Office of State Personnel defines "religion" as:
"...the
expression of one's belief in and/or reverence for a superhuman
power recognized as the creator and/or governor of
the universe; or lack thereof."
The
EEOC defines the "'religious' nature of a practice or
belief" as follows:
"In
most cases whether or not a practice or belief is religious is
not
at issue. However, in those cases in which the issue does
exist, the Commission will define religious practices to include
moral or ethical beliefs as to what is right and wrong which are
sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views..."
