There is a profanity filter in the options. It's not something I've ever used myself so not sure how effective it is.

Config option to sensor trader curse for that

This is true, and which messages are considered profanity is controlled via XML, so if they didn't consider references to God as profanity, then a player could adjust that.
Also, when you generate a world, but before you play it, it is really easy to change Trader Rekt into some other trader. You edit the world's prefabs.xml file, find all of the trader_rekt entries, and change them to trader_jen. Save, and you're good to go.

You purchased the game with the following rating, warning that it has strong language in it. Turn on the profanity filter if you don't want cursing and add profanity = true to any additional sounds in the sounds.xml file for any additional dialog that you find offensive.
Nothing in the game sound files is offensive to me so I don't see why the developers need to remove it just for you - especially since it only takes minimum work on your part to remove it.

Rekt is friendly what do you mean

Unfortunate caveat, as usual. XML file modifications aren't applicable to console players. No idea if Shaenara is playing on console, but if the profanity filters don't do the trick, ignoring them might.
I understand why you take personal offense. I live in the United States of the Offended, but have known real people like Rekt myself. TFP seems to think Rekt is the trader everyone loves to hate. Not sure about that. The character seems to be all but universally hated -- period -- so I'm not sure it was the best idea to frontload the guy as the first trader you run across, but I honestly think it's everyone's choice whether to be offended or not. He is just a character like any other you'd see in a book or movie or TV show.

You bought a rated M game, what did you expect, Karen?

Ohhh. Cmon. I think players should have an option to MUTE some of the dialogue at least. I am swearing myself a lot after hearing such dialogues...
It is not that I am getting offended. But being less exposed to swear words is not a bad idea.
REKT is the best, and he does not offend the Mighty One. Quite the opposite

I just ignore everything Rekt says (and everything all the traders say, to be honest). But I'm also not a fan of how he talks. The profanity filter is there for those who want to use it. It doesn't limit anything that isn't considered profanity, though. So if you're not on PC, you're still going to have to deal with how Rekt talks unless you avoid Rekt. And that's difficult on any RWG map without using mods since you have to go to Rekt to complete the initial tutorial quest before you can do any other quests. If you are on PC, you can either mod it so the language you don't like can be filtered with the profanity filter or you can replace Rekt with another trader after making the map, or even just make a map with a third party map generator or by hand. All of those except adjusting the profanity filter can be done on a PC and if hosted by a PC player or on a dedicated server can still help console players to avoid Rekt, so there is that.

Nothing wrong in asking, but .. no. You're asking to remove what is essentially a simple godless character, by your standards. Even most christians won't care about it IRL, and this is a game character. If you have trouble with one who speaks rudely, wait 'til we get bandits ...
I don't even suggest editing it out, just practice some tolerance on him.

What about heads getting chopped off?

My suggestion to the developers: Replace Rekt as a trader with someone else and make him a survivor. I’ll find him everywhere, and I have a few things to discuss with him.

Did you even see the stream with the guy who does the voice of Rekt on youtube? He's actually a cool person.

What are you talking about? If a zombie killed your family members, you'd do the same thing to them.

What I am saying is that she is concerned with dialogue in a game where heads are being chopped off. Perhaps she needs to reconsider her game choices....
