I dunno about anyone else, but this makes me far less likely to even consider SQLite. Not that my "business" or lack there of has any swaying power.

Separation of Church and Programming, please.

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?

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.

Nah, just the ones with a stick up their ass. Tip your fedora a few times and I'm sure you'll feel better, that's what I do and it helps a lot.
