Title VII (of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) originally provided no guidance as to what it meant by the word religion. In the 1972 amendments to Title VII, Congress addressed the issue. In section 701, providing definitions for terms within Title VII, section (j) states: "The term 'religion' includes all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief, unless an employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate an employee's or prospective employee's religious observance or practice without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business."
