You wrote that Walgreens isn't required to have a policy of accommodating its employees religious beliefs. But, in fact, that is what the law requires, as the EEOC policy statement makes clear.
From the very first paragraph of that statement:
1. Are employers required to accommodate the religious beliefs and practices of applicants and employees?
Yes. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on religion. This includes refusing to accommodate an employee's sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship (more than a minimal burden on operation of the business). A religious practice may be sincerely held by an individual even if newly adopted, not consistently observed, or different from the commonly followed tenets of the individual's religion.
