Religion

(2,262 posts)Ms. cbayer's simply discriminating against Pagan religion and so forth as not religious, is simple religious bias/bigotry.
In addition to Ms. cbayer's expanded list of 10, there are also two more sections:
1) Atheists and Agnostics. DU considers these "religious"ly oriented. And
2) Religion
These would not necessarily be called "religious." But they would be said to be ADDRESSING religion.
So regarding the subject of religion on DU? Tallying the number of sections devoted to the subject of Religion, pro and con, as one useful statistical index, it would appear that the bias in favor of religious persons might be between 11 to 1. Or at most 10 to 2 (if we do not consider the "religion" section religious overall).
So on Democratic Underground there is roughly a 5-to-1 advantage for religious folks. By this particular index. We will need to look at other indices as well, of course. But the preliminary indications are not good. Especially when we consider the advantage for believers in the current jury system too.
