I don't see it as an argument about religion, per se.

A large organization thinks Linux should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

When its Microsoft, people are happy to discuss their reasons.

When its Traditional Catholicism, people shy away.

Whats silly is that in *both situations* the problem isn't one of technology, its one of organizational philosophy.

Why should one form of philosophy get special protection when another form merits discussion?
