biblical references and 'verse of the day' plastered all over their web site?
Due to my moral, though admittedly non-christian upbringing, I won't say anything. I'll allow others to come to their own conclusions.

Wow; what nonsensical reaction.
You have data that suggests that "religious" people, or Christians, are less honest in business transactions? That I would like to see!
For one thing, since Christianity teaches that there's a God that's watching everything you do, and that you'll be held accountable for such things, as opposed to atheist's worldview which allows him to basically get away with it all, what sort of sense would it make if those with Christian leanings were _more_ likely to be shady?
It turns out - get this! - that those folks who find themselves incarcerated for fraud, theft, and other crimes have far _lower_ belief in God and religious practice, statistically. Is that just batty, or what?!
(I don't, BTW, share Mr. Revelation's particular type of Christianity - at all - but I just can't let nonsensical crap like this sail by with no comment. Hope you understand. :))
both posters should not categorise christians or others as good or bad.
An atheist is not automatically without moral in the same way as a christian or any other religious follower is not automatically on higher moral ground than anyone else. Conversley there may be atheists with no morals and christians with many.
Whether the morals are good or bad is another argument. I don't like people who rip others off.
failed to understand-was not about religion per se, but about hypocrisy. If a person, in this case a retailer, is waving the flag of 'Christianity' on his web site, one would assume he would be following the teachings of his religion. If I'm not mistaken, one of the basic tenets of Christianity is 'Thou Shalt Not Steal'. If said retailer, waving that flag, turns out to be a thief, we've got us a....hypocrite.
Got it?
