APPENDIX

Breakdown by Employee’s Religion in Religious

Accommodation Cases in which Summary

Judgment Was Granted from 2000-Present

Cases in the list are drawn from a list of decisions in

the Petition for Certiorari, Patterson v. Walgreen Co.,

No. 18-349, Pet. App. 35a-67a, and have been supplemented with additional cases decided after that list

was compiled and through June 2020. Unless otherwise indicated, percentages of the U.S. population for

particular faiths are drawn from the figures at Pew Research Center, America’s Changing Religious Landscape, at 4 (May 12, 2015), http://www.pewforum.org/

wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2015/05/RLS-08-26-fullreport.pdf (hereinafter “America’s Changing Religious

Rivera v. Choice Courier Sys., Inc., 2004 WL

1444852 (S.D.N.Y. June 25, 2004)

The Pew study, America’s Changing Religious Landscape,

lists Christians as 70.6 percent of the population. Id. at 4. In this

Appendix, we separate out Pentecostal Christians (4.6 percent)

and Jehovah’s Witnesses (0.8 percent). Subtracting those groups

leaves our category of “general” Christians as approximately 65

percent of the population.
