So do a great many other things, as demonstrated by the example I provided. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of making anything that would fit that description a "religion" for the purposes of this debate, including the legal and constitutional issues involving "religion"? Will you submit that all of these things have a legitimate place in, and deserve equal treatment in the Religion forum on this board?
I didn't create this site nor did I title the forum, you will have to ask JR. precisely because of the ambiguity of the term, If it were my site I never have a "religion" forum.
I mean a term that can accurately include such mutually exclusive beliefs, such as belief that man is the highest authority/intellect, and one that God is the highest authority/intellect. hardly gets to the truth of the main premises.
