I just wanted everyone's opinion. I am concerned that on incredible pizza's website, it states there business is operated under "God's Principles".

Yes it does.

Let me start by saying I am a very spiritual person and believe in God.

We're all very relieved to hear that you are a spiritual person. It warms my heart. Truly.

But my concern is we have a civil rights law against discrimination.
If someone does not believe in God, are they going to be denied employment, which in turn would be illegal according to the civil rights act? What do you guys think? I promise I won't post anymore religion post's. I am just curious.

You're talking about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination in the course of hiring which is based upon religion, national origin, race, color, or sex. There's often going to be some difficulty proving discrimination as employers are allowed to discriminate for any reason which is not prohibited by law, e.g., they don't like the cut of your jib.
The real question here is whether an organization which purports to be governed by religious principles also illegally discriminates based upon religion. If it does, that's bad. If it doesn't? Nobel Prize.
My guess is that a company the size of Incredible Pizza has a professional human resources department which makes sure that the company is on the straight and narrow with regards t its hiring practices and policies. My guess is that due to the company's mission statement, they're going to be even more cautious about their hiring practices.
Mostly, religious discrimination is a bad thing unless it causes some sort of undue hardship for the employer. I'm not sure there are many of us who are going to tell you that religious discrimination is a good thing.
Why the concern?
