Quran quotes (or any other, btw) in the sitenotice are an abuse of the tool and should be removed immediately.
The "or any other" bit is extremely important. This is not about religion, it is just that the sitenotice is to be used for announcements of upcoming events, news, fundraisers, things of that nature, not for quotes.
