I finally, after years of effort, have stopped the "auto-religious bash" response meme from completely dominating my thoughts when confronted with this dilemma. I don't wish to encourage any type of censorship, but we should really be more interested in religion as a meme complex to be studied. I am not here to cure the infected, just to gain new insight of the hows and whys.
I think all lines of discussion are valid, but I would like to see less "Flaming" of the "Infected" - lets hope volunteerism will do the task.

Would anyone object to a new Virus list rule that states that
Christian apologetics is off topic? I don't see any reason to
waste resources arguing with Christians (let them believe whatever
they want), and I don't see any obvious way to disabuse them
of their fanatasies even if we wanted to (though a university
education seems to help).
