I mean, surely its a bit tongue in cheek, but following the rules of the ten commandments is something that leads to a somewhat healty community… sooo…

While unusual and on the face of it perhaps not very relevant to a project to develop an operating system, in the context of freely and generously sharing the project, explicitly open to all, including all religions, and a meritocracy, I don’t find sharing one’s sincere beliefs offensive. While the focus might be on computers and software, the open source community is, first and foremost, a community of people with values that lead them to share their work. As long as he is sincere in his beliefs, I respect his promotion of them, even if I don’t entirely agree with them. Better that than the likes of Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk and so many others.

That’s way too tame… I fear it won’t attract 8M in funding. Jokes aside, the Christian commandments are quite lacking (insufficient) when it comes to contemporary morals… eg. there’s nothing forbidding discrimination or violence (short of homicide) or slavery or corruption or torture or neglicence etc. (and this is if one quite generously interprets “your neighbor” as “anybody else”, which is clearly not what the word means and which doesn’t explain why only some of the precepts have this “universal restriction”). I always find it weird when people cite the commandments as a moral compass without integrating them with (very much necessary) additional prescriptions.

lol, so much for a project that has “No Weird Politics.” as a core set of idea in the very first paragraph of its README.
