Can you find a list of 20-30 national/regional business chains that
are allied with, owned by, or that donate money to fundamentalist
christian causes?
when I say "allied with" or "donate money to," that could include
pro-life causes, conservative PACs, conservative candidates, defense
of marriage causes, and the like.

NO comments about "I heard that this business does this or that" -
hard data from independent sources only, please.
NO getting into the politics of the thing.  Any discussion of
tolerance, "anti-this or that," values, etc. is off limits.

Can you clarify your question somewhat?

It's not entirely clear who is or isn't a "business chain", or what
criteria distinguishes fundamentalist causes from general Christian
causes.

If you can give us 2 or 3 examples of businesses that meet your
criteria, that would help.

Thanks.

Sure!  Retail is what I'm looking for - I don't care about defense
contractors or anything like that.

I suppose a famous example from current news would be Curves, a
franchised 30-minute workout for women.  The owner talks about the
conservative businesses he gives money to.

It's rumored, but I've never seen it confirmed, that Domino's pizza
gives money to pro-life causes.  A good answer would confirm or deny
this.

On the other side - I don't expect liberal causes in the answer, but
this might illustrate what I'm looking for - Working Assets is a long
distance company that donates to liberal causes.  Same with Ben and
Jerry's.

Does that help?
