Unique Religion

In class we discussed that the more dominant religions in the world may have shaped the way we accept religious discrimination claims, and we asked, what about more less-known religions? Well below is a law suit by a person claiming to be of the Church of Body Modification, yes, you read it right, Body Modification. I've included the website of this church below the excerpt, so really, tell us what you think about her claim.

"Kimberly Cloutier, of West Springfield, MA, has filed a lawsuit against her former employer, Costco Wholesale Corporation, for religious discrimination. Cloutier, who wore an eyebrow ring, among other body piercings, for 2 ½ years while employed with Costco, was fired when the company changed its dress code to ban facial piercings, which she refused to remove claiming religious beliefs' She claims she wears them as a sign of faith, which helps to 'unite her mind, body and soul in her religious participation with the Church of Body Modification ­ "an interfaith church whose members practice an assortment of ancient body modification rituals, which [they] believe are essential to [their] spiritual salvation.' Cloutier filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which found in May, 2002 that Costco had 'probably violated religious discrimination laws' when they fired her. Because the company did not rehire her following the EEOC ruling, Cloutier has filed a $2 million lawsuit against Costco.
