No religious words

The editor, Dinis Cruz, in the conductor's session (conductor@book.the-ultimate-insider), 2 November 2026, about 03:20 UTC, after brief 35. Kept here as he gave it. Never edited; where it turns out to be wrong, the finding goes in BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md.

Sorry, small guidance that I think has some implications. So can you add the requirement to not use Bible and maybe other sort of religious kind of references? Because for me, that feels quite religious. So can you find another word to do that? I know there's quite a lot of changes that you've been done, but okay, you don't have to change the Git commit, but you just moving forward, can you add and tell the teams to use this updated terminology?

How the conductor reads it (not his words)

• RW1, signed: from now on, nothing the team writes uses religious words or references. The storyteller's character document, called "the bible" until now, is the cast guide; "the bible's rules" are the cast guide's rules.
• Words to avoid, as well as "bible": gospel, scripture, sermon, preach, evangelist, commandments, sacred, holy, pilgrimage, worship, faith in its religious sense, and the like.
• Moving forward only: past commits, letters and briefs are not rewritten. A file may be renamed by its owner (the storyteller's chapter-plan/cast/bible.md becomes cast-guide.md), keeping its history.
