We need to be a little careful here. Some people and societies are willing to tolerate all manner of ... well ... let's just call it goofiness, but are very intolerant of specific view points.
I suggest that we try (as much as possible) to stay focused on building flight simulators. If we diverge into a heated discussion of religion (or politics, or text editors, or operating systems, etc.) we are just going to hate each other at the end of the day, and we will be much less effective as a leading open source project.
Let's not be too quick to stamp out people's ability to express their faith. The tides of societal whimsy shift very quickly, and if we tolerate stamping out opposing view points, all too soon you could find yourself on the loosing end of that battle.
I vote that we move on, and if you have a problem with the Mac packaging, perhaps you could discuss it directly (off list) with the package maintainer.

Curt.
