I think it is wrong to state that we don't discuss religion on this board, since a quick search of terms related to religion will get many hits. People are free to express their views, and have done so, but may not receive any replies, which is fine. For me, the important thing is that we do not promote any religion at all. Sort of a "separation of word and state" kind of thing.

I do feel that Anu's statement is provocative, and I'm not surprised that many have spoken up about it. I have no problem with them doing so, and don't think anyone else should, either. So far, no one has said anything promoting his/her religion (simply mentioning it doesn't qualify, to me) so I think it's all fine and civil. Pushing anti-religion is equally as wrong as pushing religion, imho. :0)
