If you want to reject bible-thumpers
Jay _In_ Milwaukee

I agree with you, should you choose not to hire "bible-thumpers" That's your choice. You might be happy too- if you don't see any of them where you might end up...

Lifting up the C I think
At our local Y, we have a prayer box and some scripture posted in different areas. There is even a Bible on the table. My concern is in the music that is piped into the gym. It is VERY secular in nature. I asked about airing some Christian station and the staff person rolled their eyes and told me that if I brought a CD of religious music they would consider playing it. Maybe lifting up the C only go so far.
