Branding John 3:16

I went shopping at Forever21 today (like usual) and noticed this sneaky little passage on the bottom of the bag, John 3:16. According to Wikipedia it's one of the most widely quotes verses from the Christian bible which translates into something like this "For in this way God loved the world, that he gave the unique son, so that all the ones trusting in him would not perish, but have eternal life." I have also seen it printed on the bottom of the In-N-Out soda cups. Christians are trying to get me! I wonder where people would draw the line... what brands can get away with spreading their religion? What religions are okay to spread before people make a fuss?
