It's between me and God - nobody else. Prosperity is a person and not a thing and I don't have to flaunt religion to get business. My experience with people that flaunt their faith is very bi-polar: very, very great or very, very, VERY bad. The more often and louder a person says, "Halleluiah" to me in business, the more it usually means: How do I screw ya. At least that has been my experience.

You may be loosing potential clients who do not share your religious views. On the other hand you could identify a niche market and create a strong branded following for yourself. When advising an overtly religious seller how to decorate and prepare their home to be listed you may be presented by the same conundrum. Do you have them sterilize the home of any religious affiliation in fear you may alienate buyers? Or do you have them leave the home as is and hope to attract a like minded buyer? I would be surprised to hear an agent advise a client to step their religious overtness up a level or two. The same litmus test could be used to determine the religious elements of an agents' image.

And swindlers who prey upon people of their own religion come in all denominations. Some elderly investors were duped into buying bogus promissory notes by three men, two insurance agents and an investment adviser, who often got on their knees and prayed with their victims to gain their trust.
