When ever I look into hiring someone like a contractor I wait to hear them express their strong Christian values. Those our the first people to try to rip you off.

If at all possible, I'd be taking my business elsewhere.
I do find it incredibly irritating, and wholly unnecessary.
Believe whatever you please, as is your right, but keep it to yourself, and definitely
out of your business.

I like it. tells me where not to go.

It's up to them I guess

It isn't as common here, but it's still annoying. I went to a shop not long ago that had a lot of religious BS posted. I'll shop elsewhere now.

It’s Oklahoma.. so it probably works out great for their bottom line.

It irritates me, but it is a business strategy. I work in the insurance and Health and retirement planning industry. I work for commissions and the agents in my office that are the top producers are the one that hold seminars at their church and network with the doctors and lawyers and professionals at their church. We have to find the clients and that is how they find their clients and they are very successful. I do not belong to any church group.

I personally believe that if they have to advertise their religion, they have something to hide. I will not buy/use a company that has any advertisement of religion as part of their publicity unless they're a thrift store/charity.

It their biggest qualification is "I'm a christian" then I'd advise staying far away from them . If I was a dentist and boasted about my non belief in god rather than my actual qualifications, then you probably question my ability too.

THey did that in Alabama too. As we recently saw calling oneself Christion is often more important than other attributes. I just want a good dentist

I would find it irritating unless was hiring for a religious organizing. Also if I was an applicant I would be concerned that I could be discriminated against for said belief's.

I see this alot with dentists. On some level it annoys me but my dentist does not push it tho in his office you are aware of his beliefs.

I see it as blatant pandering. They know what most of the population around them believes so that's who they target their ads to.
It doesn't matter what they believe, it's what they can pass themselves off as.

i can not imagine to be able to keep living in an area where religious hokuspokus is so blatantly in my face on a daily basis. i'd move to sweeter climes.

Makes it easier to know who to avoid.

Its annoying-Would ignore.

Just just about any extent.

I would drive 50 or more miles out of my way to avoid ANY business that openly proselytizes in literature, outside signage, etc.

It puts me off. I will take my business to someone who does what their book says and keeps that behind closed doors. I don't display anything in my place of business that would offend anyone. Although I have been tempted to put up an occasional anti-tRump meme.

It irritates me to all the extents... All of them. But I try and respect other people and their views unless it interferes with my actual life.

A someone who lives in it its insanely annoying. In addition to all the yknow, other horrible stuff involved with people proselytizing at work etc. You have to think about the environment the workers are in. And the hiring process. Churches breed nepotism. It's easy to imagine that the people there could be less qualified than others, but were simply hired because of their church connection, as is often the case where I live.

It’s awful and UNPROFESSIONAL but it is cultural. Ask them which tenant of science they DON’T practice in.

Definitely. Especially if they're talking about their religion instead of their actual skills in advertisements.

At times religion is just stated for sales sake, and at times you're in the kind of office that it doesn't effect or affect, the crosses are just the window dressing they should be. I forget what the percentage of America's pop is Christian is anymore, but I remember it being in the high 60s. Marketing to the mass makes sense. So I have a hard time being upset about it. But there are specific times when it upsets me.

I get a little irritated particularl in medical offices.  Would this be a place, for example, that would let my wife or daughter die in an egtopic pregnancy rather than remove the fetus that was slowly killing it's mother and itself.  Will my psychologist recommend prayer over medication?  Will their woo get in the way of proven cures?  Or give me useless ones?  That is where it all makes me sicker.

I work for a Christian charity. Other than a few meetings opening with a prayer and a few people thanking Jesus for whatever it's just kind of in the background. As an athiest, no one has ever made me feel particularly uncomfortable, but it's not like I'm out of the woo closet. It sucks not being able to be honest with people out of fear of losing my job, particularly when one of my crew will be leaving for the seminary in a few months (worst worker on the crew, BTW). But if it should ever come to the point where I see the faith of those who run the place get in the way of running it well and (for want of a better word) faithfully to the cause, I know it'll be time to go. I'm not exactly there for the pay, I just wanted to work for a charity.

Mississippi just sent a new representative to the senate - Cyndy Hyde Smith. Her words were that she was going to bring her faith to the senate to guide her. This is exactly the type of bias people that never should be allowed to work in our government. But the fact is that most of the people in the senate and house are completely religious and are using their religious fantasies as guides to govern instead of science, logic and reasoning. It is the 21st century - why are still being forced to follow the fantasy based beliefs of ancient, ignorant people that didn't even know where the sun went at night? Why why why?
