Your employer is right. Donations made to charitable & religious trusts will not be considered for the purpose of TDS u/s 192. You have to claim the deduction separately while filing your income tax return.
Deduction can be claimed u/s 80G at 50% of the amount donated, subject to a maximum of 10% of your Gross total income.

If at all the donation is eligible for 80G deduction, for computing TDS by the employer, they are not supposed to take into account donation. Consequently, the employee has to file the income tax return by availing the deduction under section 80G, if it as eligible donation.
