They are a [[Christian]] business and are best known, even in the secular world, for their decision to not open their stores (whether company-owned or franchised) on the [[Lord]]'s day, Sunday. This applies even to their location inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the [[Atlanta Falcons]] (who usually play on Sundays).

Chick-fil-A is the target of a [[boycott]] by [[liberal]]s who dislike Christian organizations, including those that support the traditional definition of marriage. The activists made a mountain-out-of-a-mole-hill regarding a Massachusetts anti-[[gay marriage]] group getting catering from Chick-fil-A. This has upset social misfits dearly and [[gay]]s are to stop giving them business as a result.

In July 2012, Chick-fil-A Chief Operations Officer Dan Cathy expressed his personal Christian opinion to a [[Baptist]] newspaper saying "guilty as charged" for the defense of traditional marriage. An avalanche of liberal outrage ensued and the so-called tolerant [[homosexual activist|No-H8]] crowd demanded future Chick-fil-A restaurants be banned in Chicago, Boston and San Francisco. The Jim Henson Company cancelled their contract to manufacture Muppets merchandise with Chick-fil-A. Liberals took to the internet to slander the chain as "bigots" and "haters".
