Fair or Unfair? Why do the majority suffer because of the minority?
I'm Christian, I got Baptized this past weekend. I have many Christian friends, a few Hindu, Muslim and Jewsih friends, a Wiccan friend and a couple of Atheist friends. I will never try to convert friends from other beliefs to mine, they are all adults and have the ability to think for themselves - just like I do. My reasons for being a Christian are just as good as their reasons for their belief.
Where I work, everybody has their own office, a few of us share an office with 1 other person (like me). My office partner is a Christian, but she is more of a Bible Basher (so to speak).
While we work we are allowed to have music playing softly. I usually listen to the Christian Radio station, my office partner enjoys it too.
Last week my office partner tried to "convert" one of the other people in our office block (the one next door to us). Now he has logged a complaint (and rightly so), but in the complaint he has asked that NO religion of any form be allowed in the work environment. About 20% of the people in our office block are Christians, and 60% other religions (Buddist, Hindu, Muslim etc.) and the other 20% Athiest.
That means that my office mate and I won't be allowed to listen to the Christian radio station anymore, we will have to take down the calendar with Bible Verses which is posted behind our office door (nobody sees that but the two of us) and my desktop wallpaper of a cross will also have to be removed. The people of the other religions will also not be allowed to have their religious artifacts in their offices - just because of 1 person.
Yet this young man (who I had no problem with up until now) will still be allowed to keep the AC/DC poster and listen to his metal music - which I could argue has so much cursing in it, it should be banned too. But I am not going to because it doesn't affect me unless I go into his office.
Up until now (and I've been here for 3 years) it has been a pleasant working environment, we all have a lot of freedom to do whatever we want as long as we get the work done. Everybody got along great, until my office partner and this other guy got started working here a month ago.
I think she should get a "slap on the wrists" possibly be informed of the working environment and the silent understanding we all have of other people's beliefs - but it shouldn't be banned because 2 people can't get along. Not just the Christian employees will suffer, but the other religions too (which account for 80% of the work force).
What do you think? Do you think that my argument would have any grounding if I was to take it to our boss? Our boss is one of the people who believes in a higher power, but doesn't believe any specific religion.

By the way, I posted this twice - once in Sociology and once in Religion and Spirituality - I would like to get different opinions on it - and I didn't quite know where it would have the best-fit.
When I say I will never try to convert, I mean that I won't try to convert with words - I won't Bible Bash. I prefer to live by example as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 which reads: "Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
If somebody comes to me with questions then I am happy to answer questions.
