I lied on a job application today.

I was applying for a job and these were some of the things they asked -required me to confirm that I believe in a list of religious beliefs -the name of the church I attend regularly -how long I've attended that church -description of my involvement at said church -state anything I may have done that would go against their beliefs They never specifically asked me if I was religious or which religion I identify as, but the questions were obviously written to get that answer. For context, the role I was applying to was a software development role, so the job wouldn't require me to do any religious activities. For even more context, its a company who's parent company is a pretty large church. Technically, I think this gives them exception in the US to ask these questions, but also I am not legally required to tell the truth…

They never specifically asked me if I was religious or which religion I identify as, but the questions were obviously written to get that answer.

For even more context, its a company who's parent company is a pretty large church. Technically, I think this gives them exception in the US to ask these questions, but also I am not legally required to tell the truth on a job application. Maybe I'm an asshole, but I don't care haha.
