Should workplaces offer prayer rooms?
Employees ask for a prayer space at work.
- Yes, when the company can arrange it
- Case by case, depending on how work is organised
- No, religion stays out of the workplace

The left's argument
Setting up a prayer space is an inclusive gesture that costs almost nothing.
The centre's argument
Examine each request against the constraints of the workplace, case by case.
The right's argument
A company is a neutral workplace: religious practice belongs to private life.
