You're not seeing a problem, so what does that mean for those who do? I'm a devout aetheist (recent convert from agnosticism) and have no issues either, but I'm not closed-minded enough to think the rest of the world thinks like me. However, those who subscribe to the judeo-christian mythology (remember satan and demons are christian inventions) could have a problem with Beastie. Imagine FreeBSD not being used in the US military because in God they trust, or churches using Windows servers because that bill gates likes god, unlike us devil worshiping heathens. If you're not offended, bothered or whatever, that doesn't mean a large portion of the world won't be.
