Unlike most cases before the court, both sides in the case had agreed businesses needed to show more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case before the court involved a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/supreme-court-post-office-christian-85291b805b5630e958ac1200ef711cf2\">mail carrier in rural Pennsylvania<\/a>. The man was told that as part of his job he\u2019d need to start delivering Amazon packages on Sundays. He declined, saying his Sundays are for church and family. U.S. Postal Service officials initially tried to get substitutes for the man\u2019s shifts, but they couldn\u2019t always accommodate him. When he didn\u2019t show, that meant more work for others. Ultimately, the man quit and sued for religious discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case is the latest religious confrontation the high court has been asked to referee. In recent years, the court\u2019s 6-3 conservative majority has been particularly sensitive to the concerns of religious plaintiffs. Last year, the court split <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/supreme-court-coach-prayer-2981a8073ea82a1a688c367270c941aa\">along ideological lines<\/a> in ruling for public high school football coach who wanted to pray on the field after games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other recent religious cases have drawn wide agreement among the justices, such as upholding a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/6157d29563584c35a2adf6a004f89117\">cross-shaped monument<\/a> on public grounds and ruling that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/stephen-breyer-us-supreme-court-religion-boston-massachusetts-a872f0bfe945ca59d5077515449ec4b4\">Boston had violated<\/a> the free speech rights of a conservative activist when it refused his request to fly a Christian flag on a City Hall flagpole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man was told that as part of his job he\u2019d need to start delivering Amazon packages on Sundays.
