Such discrimination might appear to have attractive aspects, but it really might hinder the company in more ways than the business can afford to ignore.

As Christians, we should relish the opportunity to grow close to people who don’t share our belief system. It is a chance to love someone who you may not ordinarily decide to spend time with otherwise. That represents a tremendous opportunity for personal growth.

Christians ought to be interested in sharing the mystery and joy of their spirituality with non-believers. Not forcing it on them, but sharing it naturally (as I am somewhat doing in this comment).

This is often pejoratively called evangelism and has earned its nasty reputation, but there are authentic ways of sharing with people just as you might share any other interesting or important experience in your life.

Finally, the notion that Christians are better than other people is close to nonsense. Ideally, Christians are simply interested in becoming better, but that doesn’t mean they’re not better. Churches are just as full of sinners as a whorehouses or prisons are.

I’m sure I could defend the practice as well, and I understand that they mean well, but I wanted to speak up as a Christian and say that this is by no means appealing sounding to all of us.

Hire the best person for the job, regardless of their religious beliefs. If interviewing Christians expressly makes this easier, okay, but I have a hard time believing that those of other faiths or no faith would not be equally or more trustworthy nearly as often as not.

Again, great write up. Thanks.
