A thought to Mrzzy - I work for a company who has many dealings with Ford. Ford has established what they call the Ford Interfaith Network, which basically means that religions are allowed to set up their own little groups, get intranet space and so on. The idea is that if you allow employees to promote what they're interested in, they'll work better and/or be more likely to stay with the company.

We thought some of it was quite funny, especially when we saw "Religious car ornaments" on the list of topics! :-) But as you say, the appearance that this is promoted or encouraged by the company (and an email was sent round praising this in fairly glowing terms) is a bit worrying. If they make it clear that a religious group is no more important to them than a folk music group, a line-dancing club or the local bog-snorkeling league, I don't mind. When it becomes anything more than that, it starts to get intrusive.
