"In addition, on Wikia (and the web in general) it is never a good idea to approach help articles, behavioral suggestions, or aid from a theistic standpoint. Stay secular when helping people. When someone is asked to do something because of a secular reason, they can reason it out and use sound judgement to determine their opinion and further action. When they are asked to do something from a theistic or religious standpoint, they feel obligated, commanded to do it, and that makes people want to protest and revolt against those actions. Just...avoid religious backing."

Adding to that, just to elborate on what I said before: good advice is good advice no matter the source. The moment you place the source before the advice, the advice suffers. Nonreligious, moderately religious and plenty of others aren't looking for a sermon, good advice or not. The message gets lost. Is that because these non-readers don't know what's best for them and lack the patience and determination to read through it? Or is it the way the advice is presented?
