Honestly I see nothing wrong with children recognizing Ronald more than
Jesus.  Are we up because the Christian church have worse marketing than
McDonalds (as an atheist I actually consider both entities business
organizations)?

Macdonald's job, as a business, is to provide a service people want.  It's
the consumer's job to regulate their usage of that service.

You can make an argument if they are misleading people, but I don't see how
they have.

I agree with most of what you say, but McDonalds and the like have to take
some responsibility for causing people to want their food through their
marketing - particularly when it's aimed at kids. There is a very telling
scene in Supersize me where children are shown pictures and asked if they
know who the person is, they failed to identify Jesus but all recognised
Ronald McDonald immediately.
