I personally think it would be a shame for bitcoin to be associated with religion, no wars have been started over bitcoin, no crusades have been waged over bitcoin, nobody has been murdered in the name of bitcoin, bitcoin doesn't hate fags, bitcoin hasn't fondled little boys, bitcoin hasn't raped little boys, should I go on?

That's a pretty ironic statement, since Bitcoin is money, and every war is about money.

I think your nitpicking

Why should any religion care bitcoin? Bitcoin is only a new currency, and it won't change anything regarding people's beliefs about the afterlife or what's good and bad. Religions are used to currency changes. The catholic religion is more than 2,000 years, and the U.S. dollar didn't exist by then. Nor did any currency that we know today. My best bet is that religions will outlast bitcoin.

I think they will like it, specially the folks at Vatican, it's much easier to launderer.
