"STORE MANAGER OF SO AND SO COMPANY ATTACKS PEOPLE FOR THEIR RELIGION!!!" is not something that will let me keep my job. Even more important my religious employee who is an awesome great guy may feel offended. Outside the store on public property people have the right to say what they want, that's the deal with being an American. In the store if it's not affecting other customers or employees, like they want to talk to him some and is not interfering with his job duties, I can deal with that.
