Harvey v. Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc.

Issues: (1) Whether, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employee’s religious belief is left unprotected if a court determines such a belief would create a “blanket privilege” because the belief might apply broadly to other employment situations, or instead the belief is broadly protected in the employment setting; and (2) whether lower courts are permitted to make a factual determination as to whether a professed religious belief supported by citations to religious materials is a personal or medical belief as opposed to an avowed religious belief on a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)?
