An employee must be permitted to keep a Bible in his private work area and read it quietly or with other employees during his free time at work.  There are also times when giving tracts or religious reading material to co-workers is appropriate.

While religious speech is protected in the workplace, courts have ruled that in certain circumstances, when the religious speech affects other governmentally protected classifications, the speech can lose its protection and become workplace harassment.

Christian employees who want to distribute tracts at work must be careful in their selection of the tract so that its message or language is not perceived as assaultive.
