Could a private company ask you to renounce your religion as a term of continued employment?

Anti-discrimination laws are intended to prevent that form happening. But a employer should be able to tell his employees to leave their proselytizing out of the workplace. An employee is there to get work done, not convert sinners.

So the first amendment does apply to private employers in some manner.

Absent arguably unconstitutional legislation, there's no reason why a company couldn't require you to renounce all religion as a condition of further employment.

It's a private matter. Similarly, there is nothing in the constitution which would prevent a company from requiring all employees to be some weird sect.
