This is what I meant earlier when I said: It's obvious from his site that Steven is not going to apologise for, or otherwise hide or obscure that.

I'm not suggesting that anyone apologises for anything, just that proselytising on a business web site is not a good idea, because a lot of your potential customers
will find it extremely distasteful (as I do personally). You can sell Christian books without doing that: those who buy such books in the first place don't need to be preached at.
Anyone is of course entitled to hold any beliefs they wish, but using a business website to try to force those beliefs down the throats of your potential customers is not a winning business strategy, to my mind!
