That's fine and very recommendable, and I don't really find it offensive 
   and, after all, if the Junta de Andalucía can make an Ubuntu-derived 
distro, then why not one for Christians?

But maybe they shouldnt use the Ubuntu name - I mean, the next thing 
might be Satanic Ubuntu (with Goth backgrounds  and the works of 
Aleister Crowley built-in - just kidding) , Jewish Ubuntu with the 
Talmud, Muslim Ubuntu with the Qu'ran and a prayers schedule, and then 
why not Republican Ubuntu, Democrat Ubuntu, Anarchist Ubuntu ...

To put it another way: I think making such a distro is a fine idea, but 
the name might set a dangerous precedent - they really should call it 
something else.
Just my .$02 ...
