Delirium stated for the record:
No Polish nationalists editing articles on Poland. No strong religious believers (or strong atheists) editing articles on religion. Etc.
All do have some degree of merit---I would be more skeptical of an article on Christianity written by the Pope than I would be of one written by someone relatively neutral. But are we actually going to have policies like that?

We can only hope.
If you can't conceal your bias, you shouldn't be editing.
I don't see what's wrong with judging people on their actual edits, using the principle of assume good faith. If someone is a devoutly fundamentalist Christian, but is able to edit Christianity-related articles neutrally and discuss reasonably with other editors, I see no reason to bar them.
