I'm religious, a member of the Church of Christ. I enjoy the way Wikipedia's collaborative editing results in unbiased presentation of information. I enjoy editing articles, particularly about religious topics, to remove bias, either on the part of those who agree with me or on the part of those who do not. (As a member of the Church of Christ I'm in the unique position of often disagreeing with most of Christendom as well as other religions and atheists.)

I wrote an article on the Pauline epistles, which I hope you find to be a good example of NPOV.

I've also made several minor edits, to Ark of the Covenant, Reverend, and Atheism. My first edits came on Atheism, and I didn't know what I was doing, so I stuck notes straight into the text, which were promptly removed. At the time I thought they were removed by a biased atheistic author who assumed that since I obviously had religious knowledge I was biased, when in fact I was just correcting a factual error. Turns out he was simply moving my comments to the talk page. (I actually replaced a poor example of "religious Scripture which condemns unbelievers" with a better example, because the original example was based only on Jewish commentary of Scripture rather than what the Scripture said. I hope you'll find that unbiased.)

I'm also quite political, being a conservative, laissez-faire capitalist, pro-life, libertarian, so you'll probably see me making edits on related articles some day, too. In fact, I made a minor edit to the Free State Project article. Incidentally you might be interested to read the arguments from libertarians for life (http://www.l4l.org/) which explain why I believe EVERYONE should believe in legal protections for the unborn without reference to religious belief.
