Hold the special sauce and the religion

I believe there is a major difference between passing prayer cards/messages to those who have the same religious beliefs as you and passing them to those who don’t have your beliefs.
If I want a Christian prayer or a Jewish prayer I will seek them out on my own.
Is there any difference from receiving an unwanted suggestion of “try my religion” on a card or cup vs being approached by Jews for Jesus on the street or two Mormoms knocking on my door.
It’s still proselytizing and its aim is indiscriminate of the recipient’s age or education. I worked one college summer in a distribution warehouse for a publisher of elementary school books. One of my coworkers was a young Mormon who would spend his break-time discussing his religion. Not a problem. But it was a problem when it was discovered he was placing cards and brochures from the Mormon church into the textbooks he was shipping to the schools.
Your first thoughts were right-on Rachel, it’s an inappropriate and offensive practice.
