Yep. That is about how it is. We've got businesses in the area that only hire members of their own church.
The Mennonite School only hires Mennonite teachers. The Mennonite Bakery only hires other Mennonites.
The Catholic school, daycare, and food bank only hires Catholics.
A Mormon owns the grocery store, so 90% of the employees are other Mormons.
Heck! Even the bars are divided by denomination! Catholic bar in my town, the Lutheran Bar is 27 miles down the road!
