I've had my own problems with issues like this. I am a hardcore Christian pacifist. I used to work in medicine, and the people I worked for occasionally did business with the military. I didn't refuse that work. If I had, I would have hurt myself, I might have hurt the actual people in the military who required my attention, but I certainly wouldn't have hurt the U.S. military machine itself. As much as I would like others to follow my own religious beliefs, I wasn't going to impose those beliefs on others.

If this guy doesn't want other people to drink beer, he can refuse to haul it and get fired, which will have NO affect on the amount of beer consumed in the United States, or he can keep his job, and use whatever platform that provides him with to proclaim his religion.

Anyone who is at all religious will often find their faith tested by secular society. Many times it is worth fighting, but sometimes it is best to (I hate to say this...) turn the other cheek.
