I think people's issue is likely the fact that the religious quotes are solely from the Bible. If you mixed in quotes from Buddhist sutras, the Torah, the Hindu Vedas, etc. I doubt anybody would have a problem with the Christian verses. There would be a wide enough mix that it would be clear sisters were not expected to subscribe to a specific religion (or any at all!). And if you are morally opposed to the inclusion of inspirational quotes from other faiths...well, that is likely how the Jewish and atheist/agnostic sisters feel about the Christian verses!
I do think that religious quotes (as well as to whoever suggested Jack Handy!) are miles above the standard, overused and often saccharine sorority quotes as long as they are from various different religions. And mix it up too...Oscar Wilde, Bob Dylan, Maya Angelou, Disney quotes...whatever works!
[And if this makes any difference, I am a Christian and I still think all religions should be included unless you are a Christian sorority.]
