"There are a lot of myths out there when it comes to dealing with religion at work. I want to put the record straight: It is OK to hold a party and send Christmas cards," David Isaac, chairman of the national Equality and Human Rights Commission, told Sky News.

Many employers celebrated Isaac's comments because many feared their office Christmas celebrations would offend employees of different religions.

"Lots of employers have now become really worried about doing anything discriminatory regarding their Muslim or Jewish staff," Isaac said. "Most Muslims and Jews that I know adhere to their own religious beliefs of course, but to some extent acknowledge that Christmas happens and to some extent, with a small 'c', celebrate it.

"Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right and shouldn't be suppressed through fear of offending," he added.

Isaac's comments come at a time when a number of Christians are fearful about expressing their faith in their workplace.

The equality commission released a new report on anti-discrimination laws for British workplaces Friday. The report highlighted examples of anti-Christian discrimination, including a daycare worker who was fired for answering a question about homosexuality, and a nurse who was banned from wearing a crucifix for health and safety reasons.

However, despite the report the commission does not recommend any changes to the law to further protect religious freedom.

"It's a relief to see the commission stand up for freedom of religion as a fundamental right and recognize that it should not be suppressed through fear of offending. However, the Commission is quite wrong to say that the current law does not need to be amended," said Simon Calvert, spokesman for the Christian Institute. "We have long argued that equality law needs rebalancing so that courts have to take time to weigh up competing rights to see if both sides can be reasonably accommodated."

The British think tank ResPublica agrees. The group is lobbying for employers to provide more accommodations to religious employees in the workplace.

"Employers should no longer compel individuals to behave in ways that would contradict their sincerely held religious beliefs," the group said.
