Networking Nativity?

"I am a follower of Jesus and it is my relationship with Him that motivates and informs all that I do."
This quote was the first line of an insurance sales lady's description on a prominent/international networking website. Seriously?
The most important aspect of you and your business is that you are a follower of Jesus?
Will He reduce my insurance rates?
Is He a good listener when I have an insurance claim?
How long will I have to wait while you consult Him on my coverage?
As your consumer, I don't know that I want to play second fiddle to your "relationship" with this guy.
Did He help you tie your shoes before He directed you to type your profile online?
Can you imagine how much business I wouldn't get if I stated that I'm an active agnostic (sounds like a tampon commercial--try today's active tampon for the agnostic on the run) who "believes" in scientific method and evolution? Christians don't hesitate to pull the "God" card in marketing and networking, but does it work so well for many other groups?

Apparently start a business coaching business and create a profile with lots of dogma!
"Your business cards look like crap"--don't talk to me talk to Him! I'm firing Him!*huff*
