The case concerns an evangelical Christian who claimed the U.S. Postal Service did not do enough to accommodate his request not to work on Sundays.

The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier for employees to seek religious accommodations in a case involving a lawsuit brought by an evangelical Christian mail carrier who asked not to work on Sundays.

The case involved a claim brought by a Pennsylvania man, Gerald Groff, who says the U.S. Postal Service could have granted his request that he be spared Sunday shifts based on his religious belief that it is a day of worship and rest.

His case will now return to lower courts for further litigation.

    Heres how it would work if you were claiming to be catholic, they’d go to whichever church you say you go to and ask the pastor there if you attend service ever, and likely check cameras depending on severity needed for this, if you go there for service that’s good enough proof.

      “Sorry, I’m not the kind of Jew who goes to temple. Prove I don’t sincerely hold the belief that I don’t have to work on Saturday anymore.”
