Do religious discrimination laws make an economy more or less efficient?

You could be the BEST at what you do, but this action basically ensures you will never be effectively employed doing it, and your would-be employer will never know what he missed out on. It cuts both ways and that's why anti-discriminatory hiring laws are generally good ideas for both business owners and employees. It keeps them focused on matching skillsets with need instead of judgemental stereotyping.

Who's to say it doesn't happen?

I know it happens.. the laws in place ensure it doesn't get out of hand.
