the rule excludes me from participating in development -- i.e., I refuse to dread Hell, or let that dread dictate my actions. I can treat others well without the threat of eternal damnation. The dread of hell only detracts from my life.

The Rule also precludes any non-christian contributors.

Charlemagne's world was much smaller and simpler than ours. It's ok to give the list a refresh.

According to Hipp, the rule does no such thing.

And do we know if there has ever been a single exception to this rule in practice? The CoC as written is a religious covenant between all current developers and its users.

Again, if we explore the hypothetical of the same scenario but with another company, do you truly find no suspicion over the actual reality of religious inclusion if it appears there isn't a single exception to their unanimous religious pledge?

Maybe I'm just confused over the wording and there are current exceptions, and perhaps you might have some off the top of your head already.

It's right there in the plain language of the SQLite page, in addition to Hipp himself confirming it in an interview. I think you have to want this to be sinister to read it that way.

About the grumpiest you can reasonably get about this is that Hipp is making a statement about codes of conduct.
