I was recently a candidate for employment with a Christian ministry in Arizona I was invited to participate in an in-person interview.

The ministry invited my wife to "sit in" on my first interview session.

The interviewer proceeded to probe and question my wife, requesting that she provide a testimony of her Christian faith, reveal her church attendance history, and disclose her dominational preference and familial church upbringing.

In employment, I believe that ministries ARE prmitted lattitude to question and establish the religious beliefs and affiliations of a qualified applicant.

However, my wife was not an applicant under considration for employment.

What protection under Federal and Arizona state law does my wife enjoy to protect her from intrsuon of privacy?

What are the salient arguments against this type of violation of my wife's privacy?
 
The last I heard, it was not against the law to ask people questions about their religious faith.

Your wife was at liberty to decline to respond.
