I wish I could up-vote this more. It is a problem that corporate America tries to optimize function by getting everyone closer and closer together with team building exercises and alignment of values. Values are deeply personal and we should recognize that people are going to differ. Freedom of conscience is as basic as freedom of religion and important for the same reason. If we keep work a professional space we maximize diversity of thought and life experience, which are ostensibly what the large push toward ethnic and gender diversity are a proxy for.
