And why not? Shouldn't a private business have the right to set its own policy for whatever reason it sees fit? For example, if it finds that customers are put off by being served by Muslims in the hijab, but attracted by employees wearing the cross, why should it sacrafice profits for the sake of tolerance?
What if I think my customers wouldn't like blacks? What if I think my customers wouldn't want some pooftah with a British accent? Hell, What if I don't want any (random ethnicity) in MY establishment, even as customers?

That's irrelevant. Wedding rings are not likely to affect the company's image, since customers are very unlikely to take issue with them. Clearly visible jewelry such as necklaces and bracelets are more likely to give the company a bad image.
What if your wedding ring has a cross on it? Jewelry is just decoration. A person's faith shows in their behavior and ethics.

Now I'm not saying that a company should allow a two kilo wooden cross on somebody's neclace, but an earring with a cross on it isn't controversial...
