I never said status quo applied in either case.

What was the point of writing this then?

Well, LW is already non-welcoming to a lot of groups people are supposedly trying to reach, e.g., religious people

My point is that being overly concerned about offending people is not good for rationality in either case.

I don't see how status quo is relevant.

You mentioned the status quo. If you had just asked whether that (the best place for LW to be being in need of determination rather than clear a priori) should equally apply to offending religious people (while taking all relevant differences into account during the analysis) I would have answered: "Yes, of course."
