United StatesThe Supreme Court appeared to show sympathy toward Gerald Groff, a former US Postal Service worker and evangelical Christian, whose case centered on whether the USPS adequately accommodated his religious belief of not working on Sundays. A lower court initially ruled against Groff, stating his request would create an 'undue burden' on the USPS and negatively impact workplace morale. During oral arguments, justices seemed divided on how to balance religious freedom with employer obligations, with conservative Justice Samuel Alito showing openness to overturning longstanding precedents.
