> Why not just say that Google has a certain mission and methods and that if you're going to work at Google you need to get on board

That's exactly what the last paragraph does, no?

You're not wrong.

I'm taking issue with the fact that he's presenting Google and its mission as something objective and above reproach. By doing so he's going above and beyond asking people to align themselves with Google's mission and methods and asking them to assent to something that he seems to take for granted as transcendent.

It's religious language and behavior and it creeps me out.

It seems like your take on this statement from Google is highly subjective.
