Suppose I was a freelance website developer and one day a Christian came to my work and asked me to write out Leviticus 18 with a big fat logo for their website, I'd say my hand hurt and ask they go somewhere else to do it. Even if it was later discovered that I am a card-carrying Atheist, will I be shut down? Could anyone prove my intentions? Doubtful.
In that situation I would take the job and do the best I could to satisfy the customer. But I would insist on my company name not being associated with it, or maybe one step further: a statement appearing on the website disclaiming my company’s endorsement of the content. They might not accept that condition, and I’d be happy not to take the job.
This applies in many cases across many fields. Like in Australia we recently had a kerfuffle in which the National women’s netball team protested a particular sponsorship (on pretty stupid grounds, but anyway…). Why not accept the sponsorship but say your piece? Constructive debate is much better than virtue signalling.
