Historically, many fora having another focus have found it advisable to
avoid the discussion of religion, which is divisive and likely to
escalate into invective and worse.
We are a mixture of the devout, the indifferent, and the militantly
anti-religious. This mixture is explosive. It would therefore be better,
I think, if we agreed informally not to discuss our own or others'
religious views here. We have other things to talk about.

Whole-hearted agreement. This is a technical forum, not a theological
discussion group.
