"made in the image of God" is a notion from the Torah, as is the Great
Flood, the extermination of the Amelekites, the killing of people not
pronouncing "shiboleth" correctly and various other not quite harmless
happenings.

There is also the commandment to not take the name of the Lord in vain;
and technical discussions in a mailing list for a typesetting program
would seem like not warranting the kind of public displays of piety that
Jesus admonishes against in Matthews 6:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners
of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into
thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall
reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be
not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need of, before ye ask him.
What would count more as a "vain repetition" than an automatically
appended signature?
I don't think that either LilyPond or Christianity (which for better or
worse is just one of many beliefs) have a lot to gain from dragging
religion into the discussions here since we reduce our common ground in
that manner without actually furthering either cause.
