Should the Religion and Spirituality section be merged with Myth and Folklore?

or maybe there could be a seperate section just for spirituality and religion, myth and folklore could be mixed?

    It will be the sooner or later. Since today's religion is tomorrow's mythology.

  • No, they should not be combined. At least, not unless or until 85% of the world is atheist. Once that happens, if it happens, sure. But considering the fact that atheism is a minority belief, obviously religion and spirituality can't be merged with myth and folklore, because people still believe in religion and spirituality.

    And BTW, I'm pretty sure this is a drinking question.

    To very advanced people, spirituality and religion cannot be spoken of. Thinking about it I think they're right for how could something which is clear only to the spiritual senses be understood and discussed in some website or some book or some forum. I say religion, folklore and spirituality , when reduced to words become nothing more than myths.

    Maybe a section for spirituality and another for religion.

    Man made religions are not necessarily spiritual.

    Both are under society and culture

    Religions are based on myths . . . The message is the same, but the action of spreading it is different.

    It would be a better place to discuss Darwin's theory of evolution...

    Yes most definitely. It would be harder to find idiotic religious questions mind you
