This is not purely a cosmetic release, as it does contain a few fixes.
For example, here is "Notepad++ Stand with Hong Kong Edition":

And here's "Notepad++ v7.8.1 : Free Uyghur":
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v781-free-uyghur-edition/
In the latter (earlier) case, the Notepad++ issue tracker was bombarded by Chinese spam in response.
The Notepad++ releases have supported other causes too like "Je Suis Charlie", so special releases aren't confined to Chinese topics. Seems like they are concerned about free speech causes especially.

What Christian media? Western mass media is mostly secular.
And, the West's Christian mass media did used to cover power less biased to or blinded by the Zionists of the present.
Much of the ruling class has not been more than nominally Christian for much longer. Maybe less true in the US than in Europe, certainly true in the UK. Even in the US there has been a lot of talk about Christianity, but very little actual influence on policy: and certainly not enough influence to motivate economic change or adopting Christian policies towards the poor.
The best known Victorian novel about Christmas does not refer to the birth of Jesus at all! Can you imagine someone from England a centuries earlier writing a Christmas story without Christian references?
At best you are thinking about Christian culture rather than the actual religion, but Western culture retains a huge amount of Christian influence so I would not say that is a thing of the past.
Edit: here comes the Hasbara brigade with the downvotes.
