Quoting from zrm@eddie.MIT.EDU (Zigurd R. Mednieks):

> I wouldn't leave your religious convictions out of the picture. . . . .

You are required by law to leave a job candidate's religious
convictions out of the picture.  You may consider the applicant's
potential job performance, but you are prohibited from considering the
applicant's religious convictions.

You are implying that only persons with "irrational fears" and "outright
nut cases" would refuse to work in a nuclear power plant.  This is
patently false, and the remark is offensive.
