I'm still thinking about the bizarre EEOC decision to accept LENR as a belief. And I'm not inclined to agree with them because accepting a single theory as a belief would open the door to "evolution" or "relativity" or "thermodynamics" and so as beliefs.

I can understand being opposed to frivolous claims of religiousity, but I'd think it would be based on something more substantial than inconvenient taxonomy.

The cut for what a religion is on this forum must be a recognizable system of belief, not just a few beliefs. CatholicISM, MormonISM, ProtestantISM incorporate many beliefs. They are easily recognized.

A belief that rain is wet would not qualify as a religion. Neither should a scientific theory, equation, etc.
