Can Wesnoth be used as an evangelization tool

Can a spoon be used as a murdering tool?
Can Lord of the Rings be used as an allegory against Nazism?

You are asking the wrong question. Writings and games can be used as tools to serve various purposes. The United States Army uses games as a recruitment tool, for example.
The question is not can it be used as a tool. That much is obvious. The question is who controls the add-on server and what standards do they have for its content. And that is probably a question for the developers and moderators to decide. There can be guidelines but there will always be content that strains the guidelines and requires thoughtful analysis.
Also, don't turn this into a meta-thread about another thread. You should remove the quotes from the other thread to help with that.

Re: Can Wesnoth be used as an evangelization tool
For your information, on September 2nd, I've sent an e-mail to the forum moderators complaining about (anti-)religious statements on the forum (and MP server). About a week later, one of them informed me that they are in the process of revising the signature guidelines. I'm also unhappy with (anti-)religious valedictions and (anti-)religious campaigns on the official add-on server. Obviously, I'm not talking about fictional things, and the Off-Topic board could be an exception.
