Why the fixation on religion of founders?



I am an Atheist. I don't want that my money goes to people who want that their religious worldview takes over.

Using a service from a Hindu nationalism supporter goes against my personal world view.

I included the religous connections because some other people might also have similar thoughts.


You have virtually 0% chance of ever knowing what the recipients of your money spend it on. Anyone could be giving it to extreme political groups, abuse groups, extreme religions. On the other hand, a religious person might not have any interest in supporting extremism.

The money also goes to silent partners, investors etc. so where do you stop?

We should judge people on their integrity and business model imho, religion is a straw man.

That is not the same thing as being religious.


Where did you read that Zoho is furthering Hindu nationalism? I’d be curious to read a source.


This is a small reason why I am trying to switch away from Zoho right now. :/
