Group Assails Mother Teresa Postage Stamp

The First Amendment and her work, regardless of her religious status, clearly 

guarantees Mother Teresa's right to appear on a postage stamp. These Freedom 

from Religion Foundation people are nuts!

Hindus Applaud Her

The following is a January 22 release from the PacificJustice Institute. 
An anti-religion group is urging its members to write complaint letters to the U.S. Postal Service over the upcoming issuance of a stamp to honor the late Mother Teresa. 

In a press release, the Freedom From Religion Foundation asserts that Mother Teresa, a nun who won the Nobel Peace Prize and international acclaim for her decades of relief work among the impoverished of Calcutta, India, should not be honored because she is a religious figure. While Mother Teresa was Catholic, Hindu leaders have applauded the stamp decision. Rajan Zed, head of the Universal Society for Hinduism, called it an honor to all of India. Mother Teresa was born in Albania and spent most of her life in India but was given honorary U.S. citizenship in 1996, a year before she died.
