Well, I assume you're lenient with the Muslim employee who is observing Ramadan because aside from that he is a productive worker. But if he was not and used his religion to take excessive break time to pray, complained that people ate in his face during Ramadan or that the worksite food truck offered pork dishes or that as a group you went to a restaurant where alcohol was served, you might have a different attitude towards him.
It's not the same as religion I know but I have some employees who have major challenges with their kids. It requires me to be very open minded and accommodating but on the other hand they're very good, work hard and deliver. I would be foolish to not cut them some slack. If though they were milking the fact that they have kids and not making an honest effort, I'd see things differently.
