From my view, all software is political in some sense. And if a software claims that isn't political is a political statement in itself. And with the recent dubious statement from Linus in the Kernel of Linux. I think we should either think about it or discuss about it.

What is the political intention that is happening in this.

All feedback is welcomed.

Is atheism a philosophy? Sure, technically, though how intentional it is will vary from person to person. Is it a religion? No, and that's a patently absurd thing to say. Atheism is, in effect, a lack of religious beliefs. You're saying that a lack of religious beliefs is in itself a religious belief. The furthest you could really go is to say it's a perspective on religion, but a religion itself it is not.
