    While unusual and on the face of it perhaps not very relevant to a project to develop an operating system, in the context of freely and generously sharing the project, explicitly open to all, including all religions, and a meritocracy, I don’t find sharing one’s sincere beliefs offensive. While the focus might be on computers and software, the open source community is, first and foremost, a community of people with values that lead them to share their work. As long as he is sincere in his beliefs, I respect his promotion of them, even if I don’t entirely agree with them. Better that than the likes of Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk and so many others.

      You shall have no other gods before Me.

      If he is sincere in his beliefs then he won’t be able to follow the “no discrimination based on religion” part of the code.

        It’s true, but we’re all conflicted and imperfect. Give him credit for being open to other ideas, despite the conflict.
