    Not kidding.
    It's not owned by the church, but the owning family is Mormon.

    Should've noted, that Domino's was founded by a conservative Catholic. It was sold some time ago.

    In every Marriott, along with a Gideon Bible, you can find the Book of Mormon in the nightstand.

    In England, ijag can stay the Damson Dene Hotel in the Lake District. The owner has replaced all the Bibles with copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey". :D

    Now all I have to do is get rich and get over my fear of flying over water.

    Oh, and get a passport.

    I don't have much brand loyalty.
    I don't believe in God, and I disagree with a lot of the convictions held by religious conservatives; however, I would not avoid a business because of the ownership's religious convictions.
    Actions count more than idealogies, and that's where things get dicey.

    I believe passports are issued by an organization that doesn't currently condone equal rights in marriage, so you better boycott.

    I'll retroactively claim that's why I don't have one.
