Well, I think the message of Wookey actually was something to be
interpreted along the line "please stop inserting/putting/injecting
religion and beliefs in this list's topics or in the project at
large".
Maybe I am wrong, but this is how I felt it.
And, indeed, how about avoiding talking religion and religious beliefs
in this list (and in the project at large) ? It seems to be that going
down that path can only be detrimental to the project.
Cheers,
Filippo
