I'm a follower of Jesus and take God pretty seriously and I can't find the energy to care about something like this. This sort of thing always strike me as a way to say "We're the good religious people and we believe X and we know we're the good people because we believe X." That's a bunch of crap.
If you read Paul's letter to the Romans his main argument seems to be that thinking being an insider is what makes you better is a path you don't want to be on. He goes to great lengths to show that just knowing what's right is meaningless because it's going to lead to judging people and feeling superior. To put it another way you could say the Christian point of view on this sort of thing is that "If you consider yourself superior to one person God considers you worse than they are." Paraphrasing Thomas a' Kempis a bit there.
If Apple banned an app that showed the Nicene Creed or the Apostles' Creed I'd be more concerned. Those statements sum up with Christianity has meant to people for a very long period of time. This sort of thing shouldn't probably have been written let alone had an app produced for.
