If they insist on flagging things as NSFW then this would be the correct action for those apps that contain the texts. It seems like apps that are bible related and don't contain the text are being flagged though which should be fixed.
Before the topic is ironically flagged, I guess it is time to have "the talk". Although you can construct peaceful narratives from both books, and most people are trying to do that, and I commend and appreciate their efforts immensely, fact of the matter is: you are swimming up the current. The societies depicted in them were highly disturbed, warring tribes. The lessons from stories were harsh, often bordering on sa…

I see what you did there...
Discussion of the merge request to mark it as nsfw https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/27861 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/252 Edit - found more context: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45409794 I still don't get it to be honest.
If it wasn't for the fact that they totally only targeted Bible apps and ignored things like reddit when doing this I would say its just an honest mistake, but they only seemingly marked Bible related apps. In one instance the developers app isn't even an app that contains the Bible, its a Bible reading tracker so you can keep track of which verses you have read thus far, still marked NSFW. There was not enough thoug…
"NSFW" is just the name of the F-Droid Anti-Feature, which is quite broad than what "not safe for work" implies:
... nudity, profanity, slurs, violence, intense sexuality, political incorrectness, or other potentially disturbing subject matter ...I know it’s not the stated reason for the flag, but maybe it’s ok to see a little bias towards atheism here and there.

Totally agree. They should be flagged 18+ and required ID verification if we want to play on a level field.
Not having categories like "NSFW" would be a nice level playing field.

It is not consistent, is the reddit app going to be removed next? It makes no sense. What about violent FPS games? Consistency would be that they in fact are removing everything that's NSFW.
Would you like to link to the reddit app or a violent FPS game not flagged as NSFW on F-droid? I don't believe either of those actually exists. And again, nothing was removed from the store here, only marked as NSFW.

The NSFW tag seems unevenly enforced, especially for an organization that is supposed to oppose censorship.

Gloomy Dungeons 2 is mentioned in the discussion as an FPS without the NSFW tag: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/27861#... The NSFW tag seems unevenly enforced, especially for an organization that is supposed to oppose censorship.

The bible is a long introduction to the punchline, that the highest entity rather gets himself killed, then raising the hand against anyone, and that it wants everyone to be like that. > is like pushing a camel through a needle hole I see what you did there...
Well, after personally destroying some cities, cursing an entire civilization with plagues including the death of their firstborn, and ordering the "chosen people" to take over some land by slaughtering everybody living there. And the "getting killed" part didn't remove the threat of eternal fire for anybody who doesn't go along with the program. That's the big stuff I remember off the top of my head.
You have to ignore a lot of stuff in both testaments to get to where you're trying to go.

Hm... that seems strained. The film got an R because of visible blood/gore scenes and violence. There's nothing controversial about that at all, swap the script with an explicitly atheist one that rejects the divinity of Christ and crucifies a 100% mortal man in exactly the same way and you'd get an obvious R, because crucifixion is a violent act absent of any context. And if you really want to go with the old testam…
Neither uncle tom’s cabin nor the diary of Anne Frank advocated slavery nor genocide. I don’t think anything should be outright censored - but I also don’t think that “Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.”, or The Levite’s Concubine, for instance, is necessarily something you want to spring on people, and if we’re goin…
They are still our opinions. We share the planet with people who think, equally inflexibly, that the bible does not advocate for slavery and genocide. And the way we do that without resorting to terrible violence (including slavery and genocide!) is by agreeing to disagree by not censoring each other.
