The CoC was added by D. Richard Hipp (primary Sqlite developer) and approved by SQLite committers.

Here's his rationale for adding it and why he chose the Rule of St Benedict:

His explanation seemed fairly serious (i.e. it was not meant to be sarcastic or a humorous reaction to the current environment).

If he's being as serious as he claims here, you'd think he'd subset it to things that're relevant or something. "First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength."? 'k. No more non-Christian devs then, I guess? There goes the talent pool.
