This qualitative study investigated how individuals managed their religious identity at work. Christians, non-Christians, and non-religious (n = 320) from across the United States took an online, open-ended questionnaire. Rich information emerged from the data concerning the why and how of religious disclosure, what happened after disclosure, and what strategies should be used for the most positive disclosure outcomes. The findings suggested a religiously respectful culture depends on its individual members’ communicative practices. Religious conversations in the workplace were possible so long as individuals knew how to do so appropriately and effectively. Practical implications including best religious communication practices for employees and organizations were provided
