In my experience, the more a person needs to make a claim, the less
likely it is that their behavior is consistent with that claim. If
they need to say they're a Christian or go out of their way to say it's
a Christian business, then you can be sure that there is some level of
insecurity over the issue, which is why they need to say it. They're
reassuring themselves at some level more than they're selling you. If
they say it and you believe it, then they get some kind of reassurance
it's true.
