Yeah, Czarcasm, you should really stop hiding your light under a bushel. 
A general rule is that mainline Protestants pretty much aren’t going to care. They’re all about social justice and would probably consider it a pretty cool thing to have an atheist working with them. Mainlines would probably angle for an invitation to the local atheists club if they could. Our church has had maybe two Christian guest speakers in the last two years and 6 or 7 non-Christian speakers. We’ve had imams give the Sunday sermon. Except for the minister, they don’t even ask the religious affiliation of the youth workers. That’s just not how they roll.
Catholics are a bit more of sticklers, but not tremendously so.
Evangelicals… well… I love my Evangelical brethren, but they are… shall we say, very sure of their beliefs and they like to be around people just as sure as they are. And if your beliefs are different, since they are so sure of their own, yours are definitely wrong and it’s time to get you into the fold.
Okay, well, Episcopalians are not known for asking a lot of personal questions. 
And that’s especially true when we find someone willing to serve as Warden!
The people who run these organizations are well aware that that there are a number of “heathens” out there who might answer their ad, if they have a problem hiring someone who hold their beliefs it will probably come out pretty quickly in the interview process, if it isn’t included in part of the job listing where they indicates skills required. “must experience in Java and website design, strong communications skills and a personal relationship with the lord our savior.”
It’s a strange(in a good way) little church: approximately half little old ladies and the few husbands that they haven’t outlived, and half young gay couples that bring in new ideas that the little olds think are just dandy.
I’ve done quite a bit of consulting work for the Catholic Church. I’m not an atheist, per se, but close enough. It went fine. I am not one to throw it in their faces, and frankly my belief or lack there of never came up at any level. I think their main concern was did I know what I was doing, and mine was, will I get paid on time. 
Well–this recent example seems on the tremendous side.
That article is from February. I don’t see any update on the supposed firing of the other teachers who just attended, but based on the lack of an update it seems doubtful they were. Reading multiple articles on this it seems the parents were already outraged at Morffi being fired…it would have been a public relations explosion of, um, Biblical proportions if they had gone the extra mile to fire teachers who just attended the wedding.
Catholic Universities, accredited by regional association, generally do not behave that way. By using the term “teacher” it seems they’re referring to a K-12 school, though I just skimmed it.
They’re not perfect. I know of at least one School of Pharmacy associated with a Catholic hospital that blocks birth control material from its curriculum. Which sucks.
But for the most part, mainstream, accredited (regional) universities tend to leave classroom decisions to the faculty and can be hospitable places.
I worked at two competitive commercial radio/TV stations that were tax-free entities of churches, one the Catholic church (WWL) and one the Mormon church (KMBZ). Both, because they paid no taxes, were comparatively generous with employee benefits, but otherwise, the religious overlords pretty much left us alone to do our jobs professionally and compete in the market.
Never have, and to the best of my knowledge in the 30+ working years of my life I’ve never been asked what religion I am and nor have I ever asked a colleague.
The only time I’ve had to make any allowance for religion in a work environment was when delivering training courses in Istanbul and Egypt when some of the attendees requested if certain breaktimes could be made to coincide with their prayer requirements.
Catholics are not evangelicals, and I doubt whether you will have any problems. Plenty of non-Catholics attend and work at most Catholic universities.
They won’t try to convert you, or argue about religion with you. If they ask about your religion, just be honest with them. If they don’t ask, don’t say anything.
As long as you don’t go out of your way to disrespect their religion, you should be fine.
UP? It’s a normal-ass school.
I’m your garden variety agnostic and ardent feminist, and I work in a store owned by religious Jewish men. I’ve had some interesting conversations with one of the managers about my beliefs, but I find that most Jewish people believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs.
Yep, that’s the one.
Thank you for the replies, everyone. I’ve never entertained the idea of working for an organization where religion plays a part, so I had no idea what to expect. It’s sounding like I should expect it to be like everywhere else.
I found out after I started this thread that one of my colleagues works at UP as well, and she says it’s a cool place. So I think I’m gonna go forward with applying.
I worked for an interfaith charity that was hosted by a church. The subject of what I believed in never came up. I think it was just assumed I was Christian because everyone else was Christian. I didn’t go to their Monday morning prayer session in the chapel but nobody ever asked me to come or why I didn’t come. My job was part of the workforce development program for DHS. It’s like community service for people on welfare. If you’re not working and able bodied you have to work at least 30 hours to get TANF and if you don’t have work they’ll send you to these jobs as interns where you’re supposed to get job skills training. I didn’t get any sort of training though. I just bagged food for donations or did general cleaning. I feel like it was a scam because the church got grants for job training but what they got was free labor on top of the grant money, which from what I saw went almost exclusively to churches. Another job I did briefly was work in a church’s daycare program where the churches get sweet grants and free labor. Again they claim to be training but they had the interns cleaning toilets and floors, not training for child development jobs where they’d earn more than minimum wage. It made me just a bit more bitter about how Christianity is shown favoritism by the government in this country but the people I worked with were nice enough.
I still need to learn the generally-accepted collocations for this one.
Normal-ass schools are apparently possible, but I’ve never encountered an abnormal-ass one. And you can obviously talk about a big-ass school, but I think medium-ass schools are much less common, and the big-ass school makes sense even though a big ass-school probably doesn’t.
Thankfully we’re talking about schools, and not having to get into the nuances of a big ass vs a big-ass ass, a big-ass mouth, and a big-mouth ass.
Let alone a largemouth bass (weighs up to 25 pounds, swims efficiently, cooked for dinner) and a largemouth bass (weighs up to 300 pounds, sings low notes, invited to dinner).
If you were a Democrat, would you find it difficult to work among Republicans? Kind of the same question.
Normal ass-schools are fun, for a time.
Edit: hate you Tapatalk
Why? Isn’t that the purpose of having conversations? Are you suggesting people’s beliefs should be pre-stamped?
