Recent studies reveal that nearly 40% of Black workers in the U.S. feel comfortable discussing their faith at work, the highest among racial groups, despite concerns over facing religious discrimination. Over the last 15 years, researchers have analyzed workplace dynamics involving religion and race, highlighting that nearly 80% of Black Americans are Christians and often find purpose through their faith. However, many fear 'double marginalization,' where their race and religious beliefs may both lead to discrimination in professional environments. This highlights a significant gap in understanding the intersection of racial and religious biases in workplaces.
