It Pays to Be a Christian Businessperson and stand for something

From the Indianapolis Star.

"We don't see that running a business from Christian principles causes customers to shy away. Rather, we find that people—even those that don't share that faith—are intrigued or even impressed that the business would choose to remain true to its foundational principles (rather) than capture more market share."

Reporter Dana Knight coins the trend as spirit-based Christian businesses "coming out of the closet." Take for example: Intel, Deloitte & Touche, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, or Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby whose stores are closed on Sunday.
