We'd be back in the 1800's.I don't want to work with someone who believes absurd nonsense e.g. that gay people live in sin, that's not discrimination, it's just a matter of choosing the people you want to have around. The hiring process not just about qualification, it's also about inter-personal relationships, you wouldn't hire someone who absolutely poisons the working atmosphere just because (s)he's qualified.
I have zero tolerance to bullshit, so yes, I would choose the lesser qualified atheist/agnostic over the more qualified devout Christian any day of the week.
