The opinions of non-scientists are pretty useless when you have questions regarding the sciences.

So, does it hold that, since you are so notably irreligious, that your opinion on matters of religion is to be likewise downplayed, discarded, ignored?

You're welcome to discard anything I say about religion. Religion is not science, nor is it based on factual information that can be tested.

I rarely say anything negative about religion. I believe that each person comes to whatever religious faith they can accept...hence the many religions and sects of religions on this planet. I never say, for example, that a religion is false. I will say that I do not believe in any religion, which is not the same thing at all.

I don't really care what religion anyone follows. I do enjoy discussing the niceties of doctrinal issues from time to time, and do so from the point of view of someone who has studied many of them.

Being without a religion myself does not disqualify me from studying the beliefs of various religions.
