Not at all. Feel free to bring up your faith all you want. It's a free country, at least for now.
The "shot across the bow," as you put it, was the observation that Terry Pegula brings up the faith of the last few coaching hires. It begged the question if religious belief plays a role in the Pegulas decision process. That's a fair question because the quotes are out there.
The same observation would be made if the Pegulas cited a hire's physique, eye color, taste in clothing, or any attribute that seemed to land outside of what is considered part of coaching a team.
You and others took that to DEFCON 2 calling it an attack on your faith. I would suggest some reflection on the victim mentality you say you don't possess.
