No it wouldn't. There have been plenty of companies that have made statements and there was no problem with that. The problem here for the ones that are crying is that it is against a liberal agenda. If it is for the liberal agenda, there has rarely been even a tiny outcry.

Yes, it would. Privately-held companies such as Chick-Fila and Interstate Batteries can promote Christian beliefs throughout their company culture unlike publicly traded companies which represent thousands of different shareholders with differing religious beliefs.

Do you believe that publicly traded companies like Colgate, Disney, Target, etc. don't promote their agendas-theirs are just liberal agendas? We'll have to disagree on this one. The one that holds the most shares is in control whether private or public. People are welcome to sell their shares if they don't like it, but if generally if people are making money that is not an issue.

That's certainly not necessarily true unless the "one that holds the most shares" holds a voting majority of the shares.
