Has anyone ever witnessed discrimination in the workplace in where the discrimination was based on religion and not ethnic background?

I worked for a Catholic hospital. Their insurance didn't pay for birth control. I felt like it was wrong. I'm not sure if that is discrimination, but it is imposing your beliefs onto other people.
In the place where I live, most people are Christian and open about it, though people try not to discuss religion or politics at work. I hope people don't feel discriminated against if they are not Christian. I don't think they speak up much, though.

I've been discriminated against on the rare occasion it was found out I am Pagan. I don't go around flamboyantly advertising it, but if someone asks me point blank I don't lie either.

Yes. I am in the middle of an ongoing legal case against my last employer who discriminated against me , harassed me and eventually dismissed me for being Pagan.

Yes, there is a factory near here that will not hire anyone from our church. A lot of stores around here do that. Somehow they get by with it by saying that you must work on Sunday and if that is against your church doctrine and religious beliefs; they won't hire you.

My wife is a Christian. Her boss is a Muslim. She played a Christian cd one day. She got fired. God gave her a job a few months later making twice the money.

If you are a muslim probably you "might" face some sort of discrimination.

I have been told many times that they would be glad to hire me with my qualifications, but they were looking for women and minorities to fill the positions.
