I'd rather see it that, as long as possible profit looms on the horizon, Christians forget about anything of their rules.
Saying, I don't know if those factory owners or their local managers even have anything to do with the Christian belief, but, as most of those means of production have been gathered in the hands of enterprises well-established under West German rule after the war, there is indeed good probability that they even are Christians. You know, only in East Germany you could say it with certainty that they don't care about the Christian belief because it's so common on that ground.
But most of the valuables once owned and maintained in the East got sold off to the West, you can't really say they got much to say in that business still...
