I am kind of glad to find somebody seeing an annoyance in the religious 
touch, for this is kind of a delicate topic in the community (due to its 
nature). In my case not the complexity or difficulties nore the overall 
very bad documentation was the reason why I nearly skipped typo3.
The reason was just this religious touch, which IS in my eyes near the 
"extreme political propaganda", kasper does not want. And you can not 
avoid it, not even in the (great) Book I recently bought about typo3 
where kasper just wrote the foreword, but could not help to touch darwin 
for example - in a way I was just completly taken aback of (In fact, I'd 
love to talk with him about that, hope one day we meet).
Nevertheless I am glad to have chosen typo3 and like it very much. I've 
been much helped by the list and after finding a guy that helps me 
directly on the phone with special problems (greets to peter) I am 
slowly starting to master its complex nature.

And just to be absolutely clear about this: I find it incredibly great 
what kasper did. I do enourmously  appreciate people who "are good", who 
want to make the world better, especially in such a non-capitalistic 
manner. Wow! I just prefer people who are good a bit less striking - and 
without missionary ambitions.
So I AM one of he guys who have nearly been scared away, just as Simon 
described it.
