The Employers Forum on Belief (EFB) is an independent employers' network developed by employers themselves to share good practice on religion, belief and non-belief in order to make the most of their diverse workforces.

Equality and Human Rights

The Equality and Human Rights Commission champions equality and human rights for all, working to eliminate discrimination, reduce inequality, protect human rights and to build good relations, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to participate in society.

Religion

Introduction
Religion remains a highly divisive identity in many parts of the modern world, and inter-religious conflicts continue to create flashpoints around the globe. A study in the US recently found that religious bias is a reality of the workplace and of strong concern to the workforce.

Some religious terms are expained in this document. If you would like to find out some basic information regarding the history, customs and worship of various religions and beliefs please visit the BBC website.

For information on the religion statistics in the last census please visit the National Statistics website.
