Since they'd worked together for 2 years, I suspect the interviewer didn't need to go any farther. (or is that "further?" :>)
Dear xzins,
"Since they'd worked together for 2 years, I suspect the interviewer didn't need to go any farther. (or is that 'further?' :>)"
Indeed. Then, rather than use this bogus reason for rejecting his promotion - tell the truth. "You have a bad attitude." Or even they could have said upfront, sorry, we're looking for an evangelical Protestant, but thanks anyway.
But saying that "I am a Catholic" is an answer of "no" to the question, "Are you a Christian?" is anti-Catholic bigotry.
