Remember those atheist shoes? They had soles (ha!) with the phrases “Darwin Loves” and “Ich Bin Atheist”:

We have lots of customers in the USA, but sometimes the shoes we send them take longer than they should to arrive, or even go missing. And, when some of our customers asked us not to use ATHEIST-branded packing tape on their shipments, we started to wonder if the delays were caused by the US Postal Service taking offence at our overt godlessness…

And the USPS has some serious explaining to do…
