From my view, all software is political in some sense. And if a software claims that isn’t political is a political statement in itself. And with the recent dubious statement from Linus in the Kernel of Linux. I think we should either think about it or discuss about it.

What is the political intention that is happening in this.

All feedback is welcomed.

    Not to mutter your point but atheism is technically a religion, it’s the belief in there being no godlike figure. Agnostics is the term for absence as it’s more of “I don’t care if there is a god or not”

      “Religion” does not mean “to have a belief.” If that would be true, then having the belief that the healthcare system should be tax payer funded would be a religion. Having the belief that walking instead of cycling is a better way to getting to places would be a religion. Having the belief that you should cut your grass twice per month would be a religion.

      Is atheism a philosophy? Sure, technically, though how intentional it is will vary from person to person. Is it a religion? No, and that’s a patently absurd thing to say. Atheism is, in effect, a lack of religious beliefs. You’re saying that a lack of religious beliefs is in itself a religious belief. The furthest you could really go is to say it’s a perspective on religion, but a religion itself it is not.
