I personally see nothing wrong with it. I understand Mr. Spacemonkey's point and agree with it-by having these small indicators of religion in and around gov't, you show that there is religious freedom. There's no need to hide your religion. Also, since it's not forced on anyone, it doesn't infringe on rights.
And the "separation of church and state" isn't in the constitiution, btw. All the constitution says is gov't cannot establish a nat'l religion. It doesn't even say anything about favoring one over the other. This is a primarily christian country, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't believe in christianity, that's fine as well. But to ignore the majority on the off-chance someone somewhere might be offended is silly.
