This is the comment I just posted on that page and at LinuxToday.com:

The point that religious organizations have even more reasons than
others to use Free as in Freedom digital standards and software
has been already raised. Please check out:

                          faq, in this order)

Any feedback is welcome. I look forward to hear from you if there are
