random anecdote, but the first company i worked at, most of the team/org was mormon. and to make things even weirder, the boss was also the local "bishop" so he was everybody's boss in both the secular and spiritual worlds. not sure how common this sort of thing is, but i definitely felt at a disadvantage compared to the mormon people on the team.

I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It's pretty common, but if you felt at a disadvantage compared to the members, that bishop/boss was not doing his job properly. We're not supposed to favor members, even if only slightly.

Unfortunately, it's natural to do so because there is an implicit assumption that there are shared values.

I don't know how to fix that.
