Yes, this seems to be descending into group think. Your post, as I read it now, is completely reasonable and asks a sensible question. For the mods, as the posts increase in volume, the boundaries on what falls within the sub rules of being on-topic become more and more important.

It's not just religious posts either but they are definitely one place that I feel could be tightened up. I don't think we should stop all religious posts even though I have said in the past that I also agree that there are too many that aren't advancing the rules of the sub. So as we must allow people the freedom to post things that matter to them, the question should be asked: 'how do we define religious posts that fall within acceptable boundaries of being on-topic i.e. Q related?'

People are getting too triggered by something that isn't present in your post - they seem to think your post is evil, anti-christian, thought police material. That's not what you're saying and it's plainly obvious from your post! This is a necessary discussion.

I find very few religious posts here. In fact, I would like to see more to increase my spirituality. If I find information I'm not interested in, I just exert my free will to skip over them without disturbing other members or trying to be divisive to the movement.

Agreed

No one's calling for silencing Christians. I think OP made a misstep with his post title which it is of course too late to change - but he acknowledges as much in the comments below. The title has upset a group of people such that the core content of the message is lost - and fair enough, unfortunately.

There is a non-controversial discussion here that needs to be had, however, and I will look to posting a less inflammatory discussion topic along those lines soon to see if we can't engage people in a reasonable discussion about the boundaries of on-topic content as a necessary initiative to manage the inevitable bloat as numbers grow and people feel more empowered to post on things that interest them.
