Christians support Chick-Fil-A in a big way

Thousands of Christians joined in on Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day on Wednesday.

"The goal is simple," said Former Arizona Governor Mike Huckabee. "Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1."

Over 600,000 people RSVP'd the event after Huckabee's announcement.

The restaurant, which is openly Christian-oriented, faced criticism after Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy revealed that he does not support gay marriage.
