How similar would they be to Hobby Lobby's that include owning stock in companies that not only manufactured the kind of birth control they objected to but also pills that were for the purpose of inducing abortions, etc.

There are ways of investing that can ensure that you won't be violating any of your beliefs - packages that are environmentally-friendly, anti-abortion, etc. but they often pay less than other kinds, which is why Hobby Lobby decided its "morals" weren't that important when it came to money.

I have a feeling Graham's church might be the same way.

Thanks for the link

Stamp out religion would be my first guess.

and generally one will find religion at the core of the hatred. To me, religion is a code word for hatred based on mythical beings as the rationale.

Such a noble sacrifice.

In this relentlessly capitalistic society, your dollar is the only vote that counts in a lot of precincts. If Franklin Graham wants to pull his family fortune from Wells Fargo, he can do so, no matter how stupid or parochial the reason. I won't criticize him.

What a doofus.

Back in the days when I worked at a bank, non profits got all sorts of fees waived and other "gimme's". They likely cost the bank more in lost fees than their blessings were providing. I wouldn't be surprised if they wasn't a huge "good riddance" murmured beyond closed doors.
