Earning money from religion, is it ethical?

[kristofferR]

I've been thinking about the ethicality of earning money from religion. As an atheist I believe all religion are myths created by the human need for knowledge, but I have no problems with modern and tolerant non-hating expression of religion. Everybody should have the freedom of believing in anything they want as long as it is not infringing on the rights of others.

However, what do you guys think about using religion as a unique selling position? All the time I see ordinary products/services selling extraordinarily well just because they're positioned as the Christian alternative. I'm not thinking about scamming anyone or claiming that I've met God or anything like that. Just using Christianity/other religions if there's a market as a unique selling point for products/services that would be quite ordinary otherwise.
