Okay, last one for tonight... don't know what got into me..?

No it wouldn't be "fair" because moving all religious discussion to a category labeled "mythology" represents a conclusion that fewer than half the people on here support. Now if you proposed combining two categories: "Religion, spirituality, mythology and folklore" I wouldn't have a problem with that. The way I see it, the key to providing the most neutral system is to avoid biased or judgmental labels. To you, all religion and spirituality may be based on myths...to some, organized religion is folklore, but spirituality is quite real...and to others, religion and spirituality are both true representations of reality. Why would you want to use such a biased term to describe my personal beliefs...I don't expect you to share them but do you really think this forum would be more valuable if my opinions (and the opinions of others that don't believe God is a myth) were excluded by design?
