I remember a story from years ago where a woman (a receptionist, I think) was fired from her job because she would end conversations with "have a blessed day." But I do have to wonder how many of the people who complained about her "pushing religion on people" also automatically said "bless you" as a default when someone sneezed. The problem is that "bless you" has become benign and meaningless as a phrase, even though it is short for "GOD bless you" (which some people also say in that context).
