Does a contract employee have the same rights as a regular employee under the EEOC Title VII to reasonable religious accommodation (without undue hardship)? What if the contract employee works with an organization that is faith-based? If the employee does not share the religious affiliation of the faith-based organization, should anything be included in the employment contract to address boundaries regarding job responsibilities (i.e. clarifying contractor's role in a prayer meeting)?
 
Are you talking about an independent contractor? "Regular" employees can have contracts also. The EEOC doesn't cover ICs. - they are not covered by the anti-discrimination laws.

You might want to have the help of an attorney re drawing up a contract.
