Well, his initial complaint was about the symbols on the business cards, and only peripherally related to bumper stickers. But I think that "trust me because I'm Christian" might be precisely what they're trying to say with the business cards. Why else would you put a symbol of your faith on your business card, unless you were specifically trying to increase responses from others of the same faith?
You claim that expressing disdain for this practice makes him prejudiced. But think about it... The prejudice is actually there on the business card itself. It's the guy who chose to put the fish on the card that's prejudiced. He's saying, "I specifically want to do business with, and increase customer response from, others of my faith."
No. It's just a symbol on a card. You are inferring all of these things because of a symbol on a card. If the first question the contractor asked you before even giving you the card was if you were Christian or not, then it'd be different. But you are making judgements on someone's intentions and views based solely on their faith. Text book example of prejudice.
Again, if someone claims their business was black owned and operated are we all to assume that they "specifically want to do business with, and increase customer response from, others of their ethnicity?"
