I'm guessing the marketplace has rejected Jesus as well; otherwise the company probably wouldn't be trying to donate 4000 of them to Toys for Tots (can you say tax write-off?).

To the people at Toys for Tots I have the following to say. Why not separate the gifts by holiday so that the Christian kids get Christmas gifts while the other kids get gifts that correspond to their specific holidays.

That would add overhead to their charity, as both toys and recipients would then have to be sorted by religious affiliation. The article you linked to says as much.
Toys for Tots is a not-for-profit public charity originally founded by the US Marine Corps Reserve. They undoubtably have to bend over backwards to be non-religious insofar as much of their work is done by marine reservists who are nominally government employees (even though they volunteer to work on Toys for Tots for no pay on their own time).
Instead of criticizing non-religious charities for being non-religious, why don't you support Christian charities (
e.g., The Salvation Army)?
