A Schaumburg company allegedly fired a woman, and one employee is accused of calling her a "a worshipper of evil" after she disclosed she was Pagan.
Now, the woman is suing.

Rebecca Sommers said the company fired her in 2004, citing poor job performance. She had worked with the firm since 2002.

But Sommers insists in a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday that Crawford & Company Inc. fired her because supervisors there didn't like her religion.

Crawford is a Georgia-based insurance adjusting firm with an office in Schaumburg. Representatives there could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Sommers, an accounts analyst, said when she requested a day off for a Wiccan holiday, she was told by a manager to keep her religion "to herself." She said another supervisor who knew she practiced Wicca called her an evil worshipper in front of other employees.

Sommers said that before revealing her religion she received a favorable review and a bonus. But after her supervisors knew about Wicca, she started getting warnings and told she wasn't returning customer calls fast enough.

Sommers is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages.
Just more proof of idiotic extremist christians and their goddamn hatred! They have a complete misconception of paganism they don't even try to understand the truth about it or meet with Pagan leaders to try to understand them or engage in some form of tolerance whatsoever! Its just all so disgusting, they place extreme importantance on truth and honesty yet obviously one with a logical mind can see that they lied about firing her "slow with her claims" Ha! We can see honesty means nothing to them when it suits their purpose to lie. Obviously they could not say the truth because if they did the court would settle in her favor!
Well if she has a good atty. the key here is to find the proof that she was fired because of being Pagan if they do she will win and I certainly hope she does! Its pure injustice to have fired that poor woman.Just more proof of radical christian extremists and their goddamn bigotyr!
