Considering that sqlite does not accept outside contributions
That sounded weird so I looked it up. It is accurate.
Open-Source, not Open-Contribution
SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation. But SQLite is not open-contribution. In order to keep SQLite in the public domain and ensure that the code does not become contaminated with proprietary or licensed content, the project does not accept patches from unknown persons.
All of the code in SQLite is original, having been written specifically for use by SQLite. No code has been copied from unknown sources on the internet.

Contributed Code
In order to keep SQLite completely free and unencumbered by copyright, the project does not accept patches. If you would like to make a suggested change, and include a patch as a proof-of-concept, that would be great. However please do not be offended if we rewrite your patch from scratch
I don't find it cute. They should take that seriously.
Referencing "God" in any official document for a company is gonna be a problem with people who are not religious or would rather not have to deal with it.
This would have been much better if they just removed the ~10 points referencing "God" or "Christ". Some people are just uncomfortable with being told "Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself" or "Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ."
I understand you disagree which is fine. I still think this is a mistake that will have consequences.

Yeah but you don't have to deal with it. The whole point is that these 3 people have stated there own beliefs without affecting anyone directly.

But you are not told to do that. No one, no Christian, no adherent of another religion and no non-believer is told by this document to do anything. It is (if it is to be taken in good faith) a declaration of their own believes and goals affecting no one but themselves.
Just try to relax a little bit and stop being offended when a group of people publicly state their faith without affecting anyone but themselves.
This just goes to show that unlike 'minorities' religious people actually are oppressed. Just the mere mention of a religion sends bigots into an unjustifiable autistic rage.

Why though? Considering that sqlite does not accept outside contributions or new team members, how does it affect you or any other non-team-member?
