I have walked into CFA many times and never seen anything in the restaurant about opposing gay marriage.
I don’t see anything “religious” anywhere in the restaurant.
I have seen their billboards, basically it is a cow that says “eat more chiken” again, nothing religious.
So the public face/branding of the company has zero to do with religion of any sort.

did ya miss the massive controversy and ‘boycotts’ by the left over the issue?

It was implied and well known- why do you think so many conservatives came to their rescue when the left did their pathetic boycott? Sales skyrocketed for them after that because everyone approved of them not approving of gay marriage- CFA took a stand for God and their belief, the left tried ot punish them for it- and it backfired- if you can’t see why people who supported CFA are disjointedness now that they have reversed what the original owner stood for- then whatever- but it’s obvious enough-
If you listen to the music played in the restaurant (at least in our local restaurants), it's Christian Contemporary. And CFA is closed on Sundays.
But, you're right, otherwise, there was never anything overtly Christian there. It was always just a family place selling popular food.
If not for Mr. Cathy's remarks, there might never have been a "controversy" (and CFA might not have made so much profit at that time).
Now CFA execs have stepped into politics again. How strange that they donated to the SPLC, especially after the shooter was influenced by SPLC. Maybe CFA donated to SPLC to stay off their "hate list."
Still not holding it against local operators, though, but we probably won't buy there as often now.
