    Hope you’re part of whatever group they start finding the oppression of next. Anyone not militantly opposed to Christian Nationalism is supporting Christian Nationalism.

      Where do they support that, I’m only familiar with the religious angle.

      I’m anti-religion, so it’s kind of a testament towards the business.

        Come on my dude they are closed on Sunday for a reason. I agree that they have fantastic service and it is probably a major reason for their success, but they also have a major share of Christian Nationalists that eat there because they are Christian Nationalist and anti-LGBTQ. Anyway here’s a succinct wiki that outlines their anti-LGBTQ connection and Christian Nationalism:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBTQ_people

        And here’s Dan Cathy’s wiki page:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Cathy

        In June 2021, The Daily Beast reported that the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF), to which Cathy is reportedly a major donor, was helping to fund opposition to the Equality Act.

        And just read the wiki page for them:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A

        S. Truett Cathy was a devout Southern Baptist; his religious beliefs had a major impact on the company.[56] The company’s official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”[57] Cathy opposed the company becoming public for religious and personal reasons.[58]

        Feel like you almost have to be willfully ignorant to not know about the connection between Chick-fil-a and Christian Nationalism in current year though. Are you just an incredibly uncurious person?
