People on DU have all sorts of religious beliefs. You use that term as though it only refers to Christians. We have many Christians on DU. We also have Jews, Pagans, Wiccans, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, and followers of other religious beliefs. We have our share of agnostics and atheists, too. This is a political forum, not a religious forum. There is a place here for discussion of religion. It is a group here. GD is not that group.

Religious belief does not equal Christianity. There are many religious beliefs. At DU, though, we don't think much of proselytizing for any religion. And that's what this OP is about.
