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?
CSD T1 was decreed from above.
By who? I don't see how this is within the competence of anyone other than the community.
Jimbo Wales. I can't find the original addition in history, but it's reaffirmed with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ACriteria_for_speedy_de....

When did the board give Jimbo the power to pass CSD criteria?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policy#How_are_policies_enforced.3F. The CSD is classed as policy.
"Much of Wikipedia policy dates from before 2002. Policy change now comes from three sources:
* A proposed policy being adopted by consensus. (See Wikipedia:How to create policy) * A slow evolution of convention and common practice eventually codified as a policy. * Jimbo, the Board, or the Developers, particularly for copyright, legal issues, or server load."
