Count their victims and you probably have the reason why.

The US constitution guarantees everyone freedom of religion.
Also freedom of speech. So I think if a seller wants to promote
their religious beliefs through their BL store that is their right.
The US constitution also allows people to not believe in religion,
if they choose not to. In other words the government can not force
people to go to church or read the bible.
To look at it from the other side, what if a seller was an atheist.
Would a believer in religion be offended if they got a short message
in their order that stated that the store owner was an atheist and he
or she thought God did not exist and was promoting the atheist view?
Just wondering if there would be any different reaction from buyers
concerning the atheist message vs the bible message?

I do think we may be venturing too far into the realm of what isn't allowed
on the forum. SO perhaps it is better to just note:
Religion exists. So do sports teams.
If you are on a different team, the other teams may seem like the "bad guys."
If someone likes their own team and invites you to like it, it's perfectly
fine to ignore them. If they keep bugging you about it they are in the wrong.
If you decide to punish them for liking the "wrong" team, YOU are wrong.
If you want to invite someone to like your team, go for it. But putting a disclaimer
in your store might help a bit: "WARNING: I am a HUGE KY Wildcat Fan. John Calipari
is the best recruiter ever. I may send a University of Kentucky sticker with
my order. If you don't like it throw it away. If you are a Cardinal...well...good
luck in your future loss against Kentucky next year!"
If someone asks you not to send them a sticker with your sports team (or a religious
card/pamphlet) then don't. Some people you send your orders to may LOVE
your sports team. Or religion. Or whatever. And they may LOVE that little bit
of a connection as a way to say "You're not alone out there." Heck, when
we meet a fellow Bricklinker in real life it's an awesome thing, because
of that connection we automatically have.
I think I've made it as clear as I can without breaking any rules. Politics
and religion are touchy here - it's not realistic to pretend they don't
exist, but arguing who is right or wrong is just going to cause problems so let's
not resort to that (I'm looking at people from both sides, now!). Better
to just remember that we are all here because we love LEGO, and discuss the touchy
subjects elsewhere. And even from a religious standpoint, I think there is precedence
for us to basically "stop bothering people" who ask us to leave them alone.
