Seventh-day Adventist doc denied job over faith

(THE LOCAL, NORWAY) — Oslo University Hospital has received a reprimand from Norway’s anti-discrimination watchdog after it turned down a job applicant who said he didn’t believe in the theory of evolution.

The job seeker, a psychiatrist, reported the hospital to the anti-discrimination ombudsman after he received a rejection letter that seemed to cite his religious beliefs as grounds for not employing him, Christian newspaper Vårt Land reports.
