not just outside the workplace- also inside the workplace:

Government Employees

Government employees are protected by both Title VII and the United States Constitution against religious discrimination. Public employees do not forfeit their First Amendment rights upon entering the public workplace. Therefore, the religious freedom of government employees has the additional protection of the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This chapter explains how government employees are protected by the First Amendment above and beyond the protection they have from Title VII.

Therefore, religious speech of government employees will always be protected so long as it does not significantly reduce efficiency in the workplace, and so long as it will not be attributed to the government employer.

Q: As A Government Employee, Can I Advertise Events At My Church On The Bulletin Board At Work?

A: If a government employer allows employees to post non-work related material around the office, they cannot prohibit the posting of religious material.

Q: Doesn’t Religious Speech By Government Employees Violate The “Separation Between Church And State?”

A : The oft cited phrase “separation between church and state” is found nowhere in the Constitution. This phrase has been misused by many in this country to mislead people and trick them into believing that the government can have absolutely nothing to do with religion. The truth is that the Constitution only prohibits the establishment of religion through the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

They’re protected inside the workplace, too - if we had honorable judges.
