Fred is right in that point. I'm not a gender editor (my articles almost
never have problems with gender issues), however, the topic is one where you
can find the most biased people on earth: Religion.

And I would say you case was not the worst one, the worst case i can imagine
(and already happened with me several times) is to remove biased info (or
include NPOV info) in an article about a religion / god / dogma who is
watched by some believer of the same god / religion. ;)
