72. I once walked into the Arby's in Waynesville, NC and saw a copy of the "Ten Commandments" displayed.
I have yet to go into another Arby's again, and I doubt I ever will. I'm with you--no drama, but no future business either. The right-wing religious zealots already have too much of a stranglehold on our country, I'm sure not going to give them more money to help them out.

In this regard, I approach businesses in the same way that I approach people. If I know someone to have a very deep religious faith, but they are not pushy about it and are respectful of our differences, then I have no problems associating with them (a lot of my closest friends are very religious, in fact). On the other hand, if someone is very pushy and "in my face" about their beliefs, then I won't give them the time of day. With businesses, I find I react the same way.

I think your approach is very rational and fair.
