In its most prominent incident, Hobby Lobby faced widespread scrutiny for its efforts to deny access to contraceptives for employees, culminating in a high-profile and divisive Supreme Court case. Over the years, Green and his evangelical leanings have served as the catalyst for a number of disputes, including claims of anti-Semitism, homophobia, and evangelizing in public schools.

Unlike most retail executives, who adhere to a strict separation of church and state policy, Green regularly references God in company memos, including Hobby Lobby's commitment to 'honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.' Since Green first founded Hobby Lobby in Oklahoma in 1972, the billionaire businessman has drawn ire for imbuing his religious beliefs into the company and its 900 stores.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced that it had seized an ancient tablet from Hobby Lobby that had been illegally smuggled into the US.
