And this should reflect negatively on the project's public image and be a factor in deciding whether to use or continue to use it.

It reflects negatively on my view of the project and all I'm trying to say is that I can understand why they would do this based on their beliefs. I think it's a sincere, ridiculous decision rather than trolling. I think this is genuinely meant to reflect their beliefs.

I really don't think the intention is to ridicule a standard secular humanist / progressive take on a Code of Conduct. I think they looked at them, fundamentally disagree with some minor aspects of it and tried to choose something better representing their values, etc.

The one aspect of the Contributor Convenant that I strongly dislike is asking to respect *viewpoints* rather than the people expressing those views. I also find it silly to treat religion as an innate protected class rather than being part of ethical, political and other beliefs.

I'm just talking about the content of contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/co rather than their rationale for making it. I haven't looked at previous versions but this looks pretty good to me other than asking to respect viewpoints rather than the people expressing them.

I think "use of sexualized language or imagery" also needs more nuance and I think the current way of stating and interpreting it is often taken too far. I understand where they're coming from with that though. Even just "use of inappropriate sexualized language or imagery".

I don't think it matters if it's officially adopted or not by a project. I do think it makes sense for projects to try to avoid harassment and to be a welcoming place for people of different backgrounds, etc. Overall, that document is a decent set of guidelines to follow.

> Should you welcome someone with a background in basket weaving?
Sure, why not? I hate gatekeeping based on formal education, work background, etc. If they are actually clueless (lacking formal credentials != clueless), steering them elsewhere doesn't need to be done cruelly.
