> Aren't things like this governed by local laws?

Nope. In many places in the states you have little to no protections. (You can be fired for being trans, for example.)

> Are they going to build chapels for every religion?

Most workplaces I've worked have had a 'quiet room' or similar that was designed to be a private space for personal prayer if needed. It had a chair and clean carpet, but was otherwise unadorned. It just couldn't be booked as a conference room. There are folks whose religions require them to pray during the day, and having a space to quietly do so seems (to me) to be reasonable?
