Not Christian Enough? Job Seeker Sues Company for Asking When He Was 'Saved'

The Voss Lighting Company of Lincoln, Neb., doesn't hide its religious light under a barrel.

"Our biblical mission," an online statement reads, "is to 'sell' our lighting products so that we may 'tell' everyone we can about God's soul-saving, life transforming gospel message..."

Perfectly legal, says Patrick Holman, an attorney with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"The Commission has no problem with a corporation having religious values," he says.

But Holman does have a problem with a corporation using religious values to make hiring decisions.

Holman and the EEOC are representing an Oklahoma man, Edward Wolfe, who says he was denied a job at Voss because he wasn't Christian enough.

"It's unique," Holman says. "I haven't seen anything like it since I've been here."
