... The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which has more than 100,000 members including both active-duty and veteran service members from different services and myriad ranks, said Thursday that it intervened following nearly three dozen received complaints about religious-oriented greetings at Kirtland Air Force Base's front gates. MRFF said in a Sept. 3 press release that it ultimately received 34 complaints dating back days and even weeks, including from 24 individuals who identify as Christian.

There is a postal employee at this post office I go to occasionally. She regularly wishes me a blessed day. One time I had a brief conversation with her while she processed my purchase and she expressed evangelical views.
I was offended to my core. I despise public displays of religiousity
But, my offense matters not I suppose.
