We actually used to have a religion forum. Operative words are "used to."

Back then, about 10 or so regular members (and occasionally a new member) would argue the same stuff back and forth. At first it was atheism against religions. People got fired up. After the atheists pretty much dropped out of the forum, it was other religions against Christianity. Eventually those members posting in favor of other religions dropped out. Then it got down to 2 or 3 guys posting bible verses and occasionally 1 member trying to start a discussion about anything religious with no takers.

Shortly after that, some people proposed to Admin that the Religion forum should be closed. Admin closed the forum and now the results are religion has shifted to the Off Season and Politics forums.

I agree that religion is often relevant to many subjects and have pretty much green lighted it in the Politics forum as the forum moderator. I assume Mr4pt has done essentially the same thing in the Off season since I see religious topics in that forum.

Now you know the history (more or less) of a religion forum at HNI. You can request the forum be re-instituted from HNI Christine or Paul (Ibobi). I don't know if they'll be receptive to starting that forum up again or not. Good luck.
