Given that society hasnt sorted this issue out, should employers??

Thats the question in a nutshell. Society isnt comfortable with inclusiveness, respect and where the boundaries lie. Is it an employers place to meddle with this and inform? Clearly the issues are not clear and respect for religion appears a grey area dependent on perception.
Are employers in danger of imposing thier views on an area that society itself hasnt debated fully?
