I'd hate to be the candidate who showed up and was like, 'Surprise, I'm actually a Pastafarian!' That would not go over well.

I'm going with C, bona fide occupational qualification. The church has a legitimate reason to require the minister to share their faith.

Haha, the church is really playing hardball here. They want their minister to be a true believer, no exceptions!

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Doesn't Title VII prohibit religious discrimination in employment? This seems to be a gray area.

That's a good point. Maybe the church can argue that being a member of the faith is necessary for the ministerial role.

This seems like a clear-cut case of a bona fide occupational qualification. The church is allowed to require the minister to be a member of the faith, as it's an essential part of the job.
