that attorney general ashcroft was probably a good example. He prayed every morning and based his work ethics on a make believe fairy tale god. Would you want people like that making decisions that affect your companies future?

I make my decisions on employability based on factors other than religion.
I have worked with Christians who had wonderful work ethics and Christians that should have been fired for laziness or dishonesty. The same applies to Jews, Muslims and Pagans.
If the person was qualified and with a good work ethic, I see no problem with hiring the best person -- Christian or not.
PS> I've seen this same question with the word Pagan substituted for Christian. My answer was substantively the same

I don't see how you can say that Ashcroft is representative of all Christians seeing that the guy is just generally a scum bag.

Of the Christians I have worked with; they have demonstrated an ability to work without placing their religious practices before their jobs.. There have been few exceptions, but it is rare. It seems to be quite different with people in power though, such people need not be in office.

You know the economist Max Weber postulated that capitalism really stemmed from Christianity.

Thankfully, my boss does. My religion has nothing to do with my work record. I work hard, and get the job done.

Sure, sheeple make good employees too, I just wouldn't trust superstitious people in leadership roles...

Yes but perhaps not if they intentionally pray publicly. It should be private and kept private... he screwed up in that sense.

If their faith helped them to make good business decisions and help the company thrive, why not?

Open your eyes man, look around, this world is in chaos, because we do not have enough Christian leaders.
