My two cents

I don't believe there is an issue here. There are probably millions of
permutations of other languages' words that can cause offense in
another. For example, the phrase "old goat" in English means exactly
that; a goat that is old, but say it to a German woman and you're likely
to get a slap round the face. 
Debate on the existence, or lack thereof of any deity on a mailing list
for an operating system is just stupid.
The simple answer to this is: if you feel offended, regardless of how
others see the name, then you should report it to Launchpad. This
mailing list is purely for the discussion of bugs, bug reports,
triaging, etc and should not be used for the impending ban on any user.
It is up to the LP devs to decide what actions are taken on the user's
account, if any.
