In reply to the discussion: Here's to the Religion Group - DU's Most Active Discussion Group! [View all]MineralMan
(147,652 posts)Still, the Religion Group is the most active and most popular DU Group, which was my point. I think it's because anyone can post here about religion without being blocked from the group. It's not a "protected group," and that's a good thing. It is really the only place on DU where religious topics can be discussed freely from all perspectives.
It's much needed, which is why it's so active. Discussions about religions have an important place on a site that is primarily about politics, because religion affects politics. Only an open forum where all points of view are welcomed can serve that need. I know that is stressful for some, but those folks have plenty of protected groups to use. The Religion Group is the only open discussion area with religion as its topic.
