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.

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

Yes or have a new section called "Stolen from pagans"
EDIT: Or rather be in the "Mental disorders" section
