Perplexed by this argument from a fundie friend

I disagree. When people repeat or produce disinformation to sustain themselves and their particular point of view then that point of view needs to be carefully examined.

The "establishment clause" of the first amendment prevents the government from preferring one religion over others. A set of stamps which honored ONLY xtian silliness might well have been unconstitutional. By including all of this nonsense they avoided the problem.

One of the problems with being an atheist is that there are no holidays. Perhaps they could have issued a blank stamp and called it the atheist stamp but I don't think it would have been a big seller.
