I hate to butt in here, but if one religion accepts another it gives
credence to the belief system that is not their own, thus negating the
whole purpose of religion in the first-place. Only one belief system can
be right. The only recourse is to condemn anyone who has beliefs different
than your own.
Granted, in the business world it's easier to avoid the topic altogether
than start holy wars and offend potential/existing customers and employees.
