Stamps or stationery items shall not be issued to honor religious institutions or individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings or beliefs.

Thanks for the link, so there's the reg. On the surface it seems they're right, but I don't think so. Her principal achievement may have been religious to her, but it had a real, non-religious effect on the world. If you use their interpretation you'd have to eliminate stamps for the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr., and any other person who made real-world contributions based on religious conviction.
