Yes. I would like to add that it also helps if they aren't hypocritical. Its easier for me to be okay with someone with opposing beliefs if they live it instead of just typing it out on a web page.

Why does Dave Mustaine look like fat 80s Ozzy? Whose Dave Mustaine is he talking about anyway?

This thread is posing more questions than answers.

If they make it that easy to know what their religious beliefs are, just by clicking to their product page, then it becomes a choice for the consumer.

It's not like anyone is stalking these builders to see where they spend their Sundays.
This was taken out of context.
I also said
Do what thou wilt
(That goes for them and their beliefs and you and where you want to spend your cash.)

Yep. I care more about whether people are good people to deal with or not, and religion is not a consistent factor to guess by. Can we all just move on to a new thread about what builders are shitstains irrespective of their religion?

I'm pretty sure no one is saying they have an issue with a builder who happens to be Christian, as opposed to a self proclaimed 'Christian business', which is a whole different thing.

Man. I don't believe in God, but the large majority of the earths population does. If I were to avoid doing business with people who believe stuffs, I would limit myself alot. So yeah, I don't mind buying pedals made by people who think we are here because some cosmic being wanted it to be so.

BUT I will not buy from people who in any way hold beliefs like homophopia, racism, nazism, oppression of women etc. There are plenty of theists out there who live normal lives, follows science, that don't oppress anybody and are generally good people. I have no issues with buying stuff from them.

I don't know much about megachurches and that kinda stuff, so I have no idea what views they hold. But yeah, I do find it weird if a pedalmaker should write what religion/worldview they belong to on their site. I mean, I don't present myself as Eivind the Atheist.
