Framing pseudoscience as a religious prohibition publicly challenges dubious offers.

Evidence

In a restaurant that advertises on its menu that all water is energized with the Grander system, I have told them that I am not allowed to drink Grander water for religious reasons. It would be esoteric and therefore forbidden for me as a Christian. It is not true for me, but I want to point out that they do not automatically make all customers happy with such an offer. — Holm Gero Hümmler, Ulrike Schiesser, Fact and Prejudice, 592
