If the employer stops this from recurring--they don't have to re-assign you, but can simply stop the harassers from harassing you--then you have no claim; the employer fulfilled its legal obligations by looking into and stopping harassment when it is reported. If the harassment continues, so that the company either did not try to stop it or was ineffective in stopping it, then you would have a claim for religious- and gender-based harassment/discrimination and should contact the EEOC to file a complaint. Companies must stop harassment when it is reported to them, in one way or another.
