Religion

From Science Encyclopedia

A religion is an institution built around belief in some kind of god or divine power.

Religion is also one of the most disputed topics at Sciforums. The merits of discussing religion at Sciforums at all are questionable, since the Religion subforum is notable for the very unscientific discussions taking place there.

However over the years many have realised that the Religion subforum is a good place to isolate the religious zealots and fanatics so that they don't slip their magical thinking into more scientific subforums and discussions.

The trade off is that a scientific discussion on religion from an anthropological, mythological, psychological and other point of view has become practically impossible.

The Religion subforum can be thought of as a sister forum to the Pseudoscience subforum, which until recently had many members believing in aliens visiting Earth and anal probing them and their cows, i.e., in both subforums there are many people holding irrational beliefs.
