I agree that it is in very bad taste to use the images of God or a deity or any religious teacher belonging to any religion whatsoever in any ads.

It's definitely bad taste. Some people have no respect for things considered sacred to others. For Burger King, that is just business as usual. Think of all the free press a bad advertisement gets these days. If the trend catches on, McDonalds might make a McJesus burger or something. Not good, but you know some people would buy it to show the world how Christian they are. Like moths to a flame. It doesn't seem to be so bad when a the restaurant pays tribute to a deity in a name, as long as they don't mock the beliefs.

When you are concerned about the religion, and there gods, there arises the problem. The seller is not trying to compare the product with god, but inturn he wants to promote his business or wants a good name for his shop which will give a pleasant feeling or some thing like that. But the one which you have mentioned above cant be accepted in any case.
