What is the burden of establishing a prima facie case of religious discrimination under Title VII?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hussein v. Raban Supply Co., 78 F.3d 593 (9th Cir. 1996):

To establish a prima facie case of religious discrimination under Title VII, the plaintiff has the burden of pleading and proving that (i) she had a bona fide religious belief; (ii) she informed her employer of her religious views and that they were in conflict with responsibilities as an employee; and (iii) she was discharged for her inability to fulfill the disputed job duty. EEOC v. Hacienda Hotel, 881 F.2d 1504, 1512 (9th Cir.1989). If the employee successfully makes out a prima facie case, the burden shifts to the employer to prove that it made good faith efforts to accommodate the employee's religious beliefs. Id.
