[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your point in listing this? Do you think people shouldn't shop anywhere that has management who aren't atheist or agnostic?

If this about choosing to shop only at stores where people share your faith or lack thereof then really you need to list the faith/non faith beliefs of every owner/CEO. Also some of the people on the list are identified as having a faith and others as incorporating their faith and beliefs into their business. They are lumped together. Advocating for not patronizing a business simply because the owner doesn't share your faith is pretty discriminatory. As it is when people post lists of companies owned /run my Muslims.[/quote]

[b]You're missing the point. It's not just about companies that are religious, but what kinds of religious ideology that you're supporting, as a customer. I wouldn't support a homophobic and misogynistic company that justified their practices with religion (and most of the companies in that list do let ideology transcend into company policy). It doesn't matter if they're Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Ancient Egyptian, Mayan, or what label they call themselves.[/b] [/quote]

I am guessing you are very young, PP.  Maybe right out of college?  In your early 20s?  You sound so narrow minded; you can't possibly have much life experience yet.

You know, they are wonderful companies.

They treat their employees well and they treat their customers well.  Many of them make stands against business practices that are abhorrent, such as not moving their manufacturing to countries like China which have terrible human rights records.

In and Out Burger for example, is supposed to be a fantastic place to work for.  In the world of fast food, their jobs are very sought after.  Doesn't sound like a discriminatory business to me.

Regardless, what a sad, sad narrow little world you must live in if you only see fit so associate with those who are exactly like you, and if you refuse to see anything but the negative in those who might happen to believe differently than you do.
