It doesn't contain such material, but it is structured in favour of a 
book-chapter-verse layout.

Even if it did promote one religion in favour of others, I wouldn't exclude it 
on those grounds, it's not up to us to censor unless it's really going to 
offend people. If it included Bible texts, I might push it back out into 
contribs on a size basis, though (uncompressed, a Bible is roughly 3/4 
million English words per translation).
