Polk County, 61 F.3d 650, 654 (8th Cir.1995) ("In most of the cases alleging religious discrimination under Title VII, the employer is a private entity rather than a government, and the first amendment to the Constitution is therefore not applicable to the employment relationship."), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 116 S.Ct. 1042, --- L.Ed.2d ---- (1996).
