No, you cannot be discriminated against for race, creed, or color... as a CEO the "election" to that position is what was denied him, the firing was a violation,,, that I doubt will be upheld, but it is still wrong.
Creed is defined as: a statement of the shared beliefs of a religious community. Creeds are not intended to be comprehensive, but to be a summary of core beliefs. The term "creed" can also refer to a person's political or social beliefs, or is sometimes used to mean religious affiliation.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN as amended, protects applicants and employees from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), or national origin. Religious discrimination includes failing to reasonably accommodate an employees religious practices where the accommodation does not impose undue hardship.
RETALIATION
All of these Federal laws prohibit covered entities from retaliating against a person who files a charge of discrimination, participates in a discrimination proceeding, or otherwise opposes an unlawful employment practice.
A private sector corporation, still has to obey the federal statutes on EEOC,,,,,,in firing him, the mozilla board of directors acted with retaliation...
What religious discrimination was Eich guilty of, and what due process was entered in his case?
Conviction of a thoughtcrime, is what this was. Mozilla chairman Mitchell Baker admitted that I never saw any kind of behavior or attitude from him that was not in line with Mozillas values of inclusiveness. If thats the case why exactly was Eich fired?
So the problem isnt with how he acted it is for what he thought
That is what is inherently wrong with your argument, you support "thought crimes" legislation, yet cant seem to get it out in words or thoughts, without it coming back and being used on you...
Good luck with that delusion....

Mozilla as a corporation has the right to fire a CEO for whatever reason they want other than his race color or creed, if he was in a union and protected by a contract instead of an at will employee things would be different. Congress enacted no law that infringed on Eichs freedom of relegion it was the policy of a private sector company. Opperating a business is not a right it is a privilege, business is regulated at all levels of government, you can't sell drugs or practice medicine without a license, set up a suburban tire burning facility or pimp for prostitutes. It is entirely reasonable to require business to provide services to everyone in a community and completely legal. My freedom to practice my religion dosn't give me cart blanch to discriminate against or harm anyone.
