Chewie, I think the posts Memnoch and I made
here state the position clearly enough. Larry and the rest of the Mods also support this position.
Basically, if a thread starts down the road of a nit-picking, "he said she said", "I'm right, you're wrong" personalised spat with religion at the centre, it will be zapped.
That's not to say any mention of the subject is taboo - it's too important to simply ignore. So if it gets discussed in a civilised manner as an adjunct to another topic, as far as I'm concerned, that's fine.
However, you all should have sufficient experience of just how quickly things can spiral out of control when religion is mentioned, so we look to you all to conduct yourselves properly when it is discussed, even in the limited manner described above.
If you cannot handle this limited freedom, then an absolute prohibition on
any mention of religion will be strictly enforced and unfortunately, proper debate of some subjects will suffer.
The ball is in your court.
