Well, I don't think I got that job [View all]

I interviewed for a part time bookkeeping job today. I'm fully qualified and actually want to work a shortened schedule, as opposed to someone who takes a part time gig while they're looking for something full time. So they took me into the conference room and there is some big bible quote on one wall. They then point out that they are a faith based company. Biblical bookkeeping I guess.

I suppose I could have just kept my mouth shut, but I just couldn't. I have no issue with xtian artwork and music. Well, the music maybe (LOL). But when it was brought up a second time, I told them "Just so you know, I was raised that religion was a personal and family matter. I hope you're okay with that."

So I don't know if they'll still want me. I don't care if they ARE religious. Most of my extended family and friends are. I'll even go to a Unitarian church now and then, since that's the church I attended growing up. I'm certainly not a militant atheist. I just don't discuss religion or politics at work.
