Ooh this is a good one! I'm atheist but I was surprised when talking to a (very christian) coworker who said businesses advertising as being Christian seemed untrustworthy. I just assumed it was like, advertising shorthand, like "oh, I'll use Christian roof repair bc they're my people and I want to give my people my money!" But his take was very "if you're telling me, I don't believe you".
Not to mention if they do shady business it's hard to call them out because they'll hide behind that Christian moniker and all the other faithful will run to their defense.
