Just to clarify: Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion.

Google cannot take action against religions (even cults) it disagrees with (even for valid reasons for disagreeing with them), unless it gets over a very high bar of impacting business behavior.

The other path leads to far worse outcomes.

Morally, we cannot judge what happened here without hearing from both sides. But if action is to be taken, it should be taken by a prosecutor, not an employer.

He alleges a few specific problems: nepotism, self-dealing and retaliation. Those are things that Google should take seriously, particularly the self-dealing with selling wine (which seems like money laundering).

[whimsicalism]

I would say that this is evidence of discrimination on the basis of religion.

[medler]

Google cannot favor people in hiring just because they are members of some religious group. Self-dealing in, say, wine contracts, is against Google policy and likely illegal as well

"Disagreement" is quite an euphemistic way of describing the situation. The said cult has documented history of sexual abuse.

I don't think Google has standing to prosecute sexual abuse. Isn't that the DA's job?
