Some God with you Latte?

It looks like Starbucks is going to put quotes from Rev. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life on its coffee cups. It seems like an interesting way to get people to discuss things while downing their $3.50 coffee. Here is what they have been doing:

In 2005, Starbucks is printing 63 quotes from writers, scientists, musicians, athletes, politicians and cultural critics on cups for company-run and licensed locations to carry on the coffeehouse tradition of conversation and debate.

I wonder if the ACLU will jump on them for doing this. I mean it is infringing on the rights of non-believers to drink their coffee without having to think of God. Separation of Church and coffee they will say. They need to organize a million atheist march that culminates in pouring Lattes into the street.
