quite possibly. if you can email me directly with why you "feared" or felt you would be terminated if you went back to your job after your supervisor's repimand of you and your beliefs, i may be able to further assist you in this matter and show a constructive wrongful termination premised on speech and religious discrimination.

unfortunately, if you are in a company with less than 5 people, the discrimination law does not apply. If there are more than 5, then you could file a charge of discrimination and follow up with a lawsuit if you have evidence to back up your allegations. Contact me to discuss if those criteria apply.
