Uhm... I'm completely flattered. WTH is the reasoning behind CSD T1? How did that ever pass community concensus? I can't believe more than a handful of people would agree to that! What on Earth is supposed to be harmful about users proclaiming their view on religious or controversial topics?
I don't get this.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a battleground for social, moral, or religious issues. Userbox templates and user templates group Wikipedians into competing factions. This infrastructure has been used in the past to abuse our decision-making policies by vote-stacking.
If you really feel it is necessary to proclaim your religion on your userpage, you can do it, but you don't need a template to do so.
