No, it's not only a matter of religion.

Yes, it is a matter of religion. That page explains why csh is bad for
scripting; it says nothing about its merits as a login shell, which
use has a different set of criteria.
Religion was not involved in this particular case, as era was
recommending the use of Bounce/korn/Bourne-again shell for stuff
executed from procmailrcs. That's scripting.
Or do you login via your .procmailrc?
