Can banks now have "special services" only for Christians?

Do Christians have special banking needs?

And just how does a bank get to do this?

Umm, because this is America and people can still open a business that caters to the specific needs of its customers. This is still America, land of the free, despite many FReepers "No Muslims Allowed" philosophy.

The Feds might have something to say about that:

§ 338.3 Nondiscriminatory advertising.

(a) Any bank which directly or through third parties engages in any form of advertising of any loan for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing, or maintaining a dwelling or any loan secured by a dwelling shall prominently indicate in such advertisement, in a manner appropriate to the advertising medium and format utilized, that the bank makes such loans without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, or familial status.

And ETC. for all whole host of other nondiscrimination laws...

Yes, we need instant credit at zero percent with no minimum monthly payment ;)

From Shakespeare's Hamlet:

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
