Tracey Diamond, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Labor and Employment Practice Group, is quoted in The Washington Times article, “Companies Grapple With Granting Religious Exemptions.”

“The question of how to determine whether an employee’s beliefs are sincere is a good one, as it is difficult to get inside an employee’s head to determine the sincerity of their belief,” said Tracey Diamond, a partner at Troutman Pepper law firm who specializes in employment law. “To make the analysis even more difficult, a sincerely-held religious belief does not need to be part of any organized religion to be valid. But it needs to be more than a personal or political belief.”
