But, but, but .... this is a violation of the separation of Church and State!
I'm ordering a lifetime supply of these before they are confiscated by Big Bro.

Haha your fears are NOT without merit FRiend! I must admit I was a bit shocked when I read the headline, especially with the recent news from that Texas high school sued for “separation” of church and state because they had the “nerve” to use Bible verses as motivation for their football team.
However if I remember my “social studies” correctly (and I trust a fellow FReeper will correct me on this if I’m wrong) the Post Office isn’t technically a branch of the Federal govt. It’s original inception was when it was decided a private enterprise that had gained a monopoly on the mail delivery business was given an exception to “anti-trust” and allowed to operate as a monopoly, for the “good of the people.
Kind of like Amtrak and your local utility companies.
So if some rabid atheist were to compain, they*could* say its a private business, not the govt “endorsing” religion.
I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong about a lot these days.
