Here is a fun exercise: go to a search engine and type in "religious business directory". Did you get tens of millions of hits like I did? Try something more specific like "Mormon business directory". I get around ten millions hits.
In many ways, this would seem to go against the canon of many religions, particularly those that "reject" capitalism, materialism, and commerce in general. Think of the ascetics or the monks that survive on nothing but the bare essentials and subsistence farming. So what does worship and holiness have to do with getting your nails done or tire changed by someone whom you chose solely on their religion? I guess these are futile questions and I only ask them rhetorically to make a point. Afterall this only scratches the surface of things religious people do that don't seem to match their stated goals.
