Is this his sig in every message, or does he have a random quote thing?
Regardless, my signature block from my personal e-mail account has this
quote:

"Who is more irrational? A man who believes in a God he doesn't see, or
a man who's offended by a God he doesn't believe in?" - Brad Stine

We're talking about a signature block, not the content of the message.
It's not like he replied to a query about pg_dumpall by saying "Acts
10:31 - 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou
and thy data.'" If you feel it's inappropriate, I would think that the
appropriate channel for complaint would be the company itself, not this
list of its users. And, to forsake this avenue of advice because of a
religious quote in a signature block would be, IMO, a foolish choice.
