Well, that's not what I expected from a software development website. And I can't speak for others, but this alone would be a reason I wouldn't even apply.
You see these sorts of companies sometimes, especially outside the coasts. It's kinda like plumbers (or whatever) with the ichthus symbol prominent in their logo. Sometimes they even find a way to work it into the name.
I absolutely found a way to work it into our name. :)
I don't hide my faith or the biblical foundations for my worldview, as my posts here on HN will show.
But, I can say I've received way more discriminatory remarks and hassle because I don't hide those views than I've ever given out. I've also had people express a lot of surprise at the fact that I'm in software and have such a worldview. I don't want anyone to be surprised by it so I let it be known. If people think it's inappropriate or decide they don't want to work with us because of it, I can't help their attitude. But I'm not the one being biased.
I guess it depends if they are doing consultancy for churches.
Church IT is supprisingly complex these days. Apparently churches use all kinds of demographic and social media data to identify and contact people who are crisis and recruit them into their flock.
