You have every right to believe that, but not to expect it.

My personal opinion is that if you must include such a file, it would be 
better if you included that text at the start of the file itself.

However, I do not see that there is any place for religious rhetoric in a 
package which I'm sure we would all be happy for all of the religions of the 
world to download and enjoy.

I have personal reservations about any work that I provide being included in a 
package which includes religious views. As I licence anything I contribute 
here under the GPL I have no say in this matter.

I can only hope to distance myself from such potentially polar views.
