Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, and its enemies have followed politicians and Hollywood in seeking to win Americans' hearts and minds through appeals to their faith.The retail chain and its opponents went across the US to help spread their respective pro and anti-Wal-Mart messages to their congregations.Wal-Mart is inviting religious leaders to visit its headquarters and to serve on a national steering committee.Wal-Mart Watch, meanwhile, which campaigns to "reveal the harmful impact of Wal-Mart on US families", is touring churches, synagogues and mosques and sermonising on its alleged evils.Last weekend the multi-denominational drive saw more than 150 leaders address their congregations on the subject of Wal-Mart from a religious perspective.
