Absolutely. If the Christian bigot can do a good job serving sweaty, mostly naked dudes fresh off the dance floor and pour an awesome drink, then he/she ought to hired. My guess is that they would either not do a very good job, because their beliefs weren't compatible with the job requirements, or else they would modify their beliefs in light of the evidence that the sweaty dudes were really pretty ok.
For the record, I've decided not to work at a place due to my personal beliefs not lining up with the job. There is a company in town that does some awesome things but they are backed by the CIA and their software is mostly used by the intelligence community to do some, I don't know what, but likely very morally dubious things. I just couldn't get behind it.
