America, whatever the reality, is a symbol of
freedom the world. Many people are attracted
to Debian because of its freedom. I believe
the ideal of freedom shouldn't be shushed up
just because that might be offensive to some
people. It was the religious migrants to
North America that in large part ensured the
ideal of freedom lived on; they came to escape
their oppressors. My own ancestors were among
them; ever heard of the Pennsylvania purchase?
So for that reason, free access to the Bible is
also a symbol of freedom for many. Many lives
were lost over the centuries in the struggle
for the freedom to exercise ones own faith; for
the freedom to be able to read in ones own language
the book that you were told from birth was the basis
of your countries law and religion. Today
pagans, muslims, and those of other faiths
benefit from the freedom thus aquired. Let them
not knock that which brought them.
GNU is about Freedom. As the official GNU distribution,
it seems logical that Debian is also about freedom.
