I feel discriminated against for my religion

Location: New York
I’m located in New York. For context, I am a patient safety sitter at a hospital. I want to know what my rights are, if there are legal remedies in place for situations like these, and if I have grounds and sufficient evidence to sue. I plan on building my case as much as I can and saving up for a lawyer. I’m a Pagan and I wear my pentacle at work, it’s a religious symbol and I’m 99% sure that I have the right to wear it. It’s no different than wearing a cross, a Star of David, or a hijab. I had a patient ask about it, I told her it was a religious symbol. She said that it was a cult and that I was going to hell. I brushed it off because unfortunately I get it a lot. Eventually, she spit in my face. I called the police and pressed charges. I was called into my boss’s office later that week. I was later told that sitters are not allowed to call the police and we have to follow “proper procedures “ and notify security instead, and it is up to their discretion if they call the police or not, which I’m pretty sure is illegal because if I’m a victim of assault I should have every right to call the police. She also told me that I shouldn’t discuss religion with patients and she doesn’t disclose that she’s Catholic. It basically felt like a “you were asking for it” I recorded the whole conversation by the way, I just need to doctor the video and omit the patients first name. I plan on putting my two weeks notice in for that job. I plan on contacting HR and seeing what they have to say. I have been documenting everything. I took a picture of the police report, I plan to document any response I get from HR and asking them if I had a hijab or other religious symbol would they have handled it differently. There is also posted signage throughout the hospital that the hospital supports an employee’s right to contact law enforcement
