> Neither of us are lawyers, but it's my understanding that the law is that an employer must made accommodation for religious services.

Employers must, on request, make reasonable accommodation (one which does not impose an “undue hardship”) for religious practices. [0]

Nothing in the narrative provided (which comes from the lawsuit filed by the fired manager) seems to indicate that an advance request for an accommodation was made.

An employer can fire you for failing to perform job duties due to a religious observance for which you did not ask for an accommodation, as I understand it.
