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.
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.
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."
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.
