From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

WTF does someone's spiritual beliefs and practices have to do with how well they are able to run an organisation? That's an ad hominem argument. My country has a Christian prime minister at the moment but oh noes, I'm a non-religious hippy 'witch' so I guess our prime minister should step down because he believes in a pseudoscientific giant bearded man that lives in the sky and goes to an expensive building every week to speak magic words in unison with other cult members to call a special spirit to bless everyone that believe the exact same doctrines....
Believing in things that don't exist sounds tied pretty closely with being a terrible businessman.
And yes, religious leaders should not be leaders IMO.
You should not accuse me of fallacies when I have not even argued that... My contempt is due to her actions. Using your example, if I have a problem that requires a healthcare professional, I don't think your prime minister would try to sell me things that have been proven useless but pretending otherwise, such as energy healing or homeopathy. Far from just beliefs, there is a big difference when one is actively harming others, especially for profit and there is information available about it.
