The justification makes perfect sense.
This Anti-Feature is applied to an app that contains content that the user may not want to be publicized or visible everywhere. The marked app may contain nudity, profanity, slurs, violence, intense sexuality, political incorrectness, or other potentially disturbing subject matter. This is especially relevant in environments like workplaces, schools, religious and family settings. The name comes from the Internet term “Not safe for work”.
What Bible reader wants that fact hidden? That is the opposite sentiment of everyone I've actually seen. That honestly makes it seem even more illogical.
If you are in islamists run area, you want that hidden. For safety.
It's not just Islamists, either. Any religion can become extremist and support all sorts of internationally illegal crimes.
Evangelism is a danger to kids, and unfit for the workplace too. We should not encourage young Americans to indoctrinate themselves with nonsense propaganda that encourages killing.
I feel like you didn't read the discussion at all? One of the apps does not contain any Bible verses, it is used to track which books, chapters and verses you've read.
Does it matter? F-Droid is a distributor, they're allowed to reject apps they consider controversial or outside their wheelhouse. The person who spoke up was correct, the ruling is consistent and the definition of NSFW content makes sense to me. Evangelism isn't exempted from being called and labelled as slopware.
These people can perfectly well distribute their apps without F-Droid's help, they're not refusing to sign their app or somesuch.
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.

You went from "the justification makes sense" to "actually they can do whatever they want neener neener" real fast.
