Being an interested party doesn't mean it's impossible to conceal your bias--a good writer who happens to be an atheist should be able to write a reasonably neutral article on Islam, for example. It's a matter of doing research and citing appropriate sources.

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.
