We have just had a BBC news item about religion in the workplace in corporate USA, specifically in Atlanta.

We have seen "Integrity Bank" which has tellers sing Amazing Grace at the end of the day. Corporate chaplains in the workplace. News that Coca Cola embodies workplace religion.

In general in such places religion seems to embrace bigotry, not tolerance.

It looks like a society that also worships its president.

So we have moneylenders in the temple, and it appears "other gods than me".

It also appears to be becomeing fascist. Not just politically, but by religion. Does that allow thoday's new generation of gay teenagers to hope for a more just society? I don't think it does. What do you think?
