Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant based off of their founder's, Truett Cathy, morals. Christianity was a key principal in Cathy's idea of his ideal business.

According to Business Insider, Chick-fil-A has dominated America as over the majority of state's favorite restaurant.

The chain took off rather quickly in the 1970s and 1980s with…
