Those are not very relevant examples. More relevant would be a used car dealer who "advertised" his religious views on his cars, embossed them permanently, and hid them so the buyer wouldn't notice until after purchase. Doing that would certainly be risky for the dealer since he would not know the buyer's religion and would be giving them a good reason for returning cars. He is obviously in the business of selling cars - and not saving souls.
