Some of the best businesses have cult-like practices, and this particular one is fulfilling its mission of making the chicken-eating public happy.

[@TShadowStalker]

It's just a marketing tactic, like the closed on Sunday thing. Nobody actually does that because its ridiculous. But they do because they know Christians will be like "Oh yeah, they must be a company blessed by God, lets all eat there." And Jesus would be very anti corporation by the way.
