Maybe he will decide not to use sendmail if he knows that it
was written by a homosexual, or music123 if he knows that it
was written by an atheist. That doesn't mean that we have
to send some documentation along with sendmail or music123 that
indicates the author's beliefs. Even the GFDL doesn't require
that we ship the Manifesto with Emacs - it requires that we ship
the Manifesto with the documentation.

No. And I have no idea where you would get that idea.

The DFSG says that _anyone_ can change free software and redistribute
and use free software for _any_ purpose.
