Are there any other sites we could use which would be less biased in how they define what religions? I imagine some might be seriously offended by considering Buddhism a cult, and in general OLPC shouldn't find itself in the position of endorsing one religion over another. Choosing the immediate expediency of a convenient site over the mission of OLPC could very well cost OLPC all kinds of support. Do we really want to open ourselves to charges of being underhanded Christian missionaries? I imagine there might be some countries which are already challenging for OLPC to work in, and this could make it significantly harder in certain conditions.
