I wonder ...
Will the Archdiocese of Washington spring to the defense of the Washington Times?
After all, it appears that the Unification Church has a "core religious belief" that only members of the Unification Church deserve promotions, or even employment, at the newspaper. A successful EEOC suit/requirement would clearly "restrict the free exercise of religious beliefs" by the Uni-Church.

Seems to me that the same arguments hold equally well in both situations.
