I think there's sometimes a gray area regarding what is news and what is specifically religious discussion.
If, for example, Quix had put the religious comments in post #1 instead of in the text of this basic news item, then I would agree that this would be unadulterated news.
During the 10 commandments/Roy Moore story, there was a news item that dealt with religious themes. It was a cross-over piece. The same with the pledge of allegiance and "under God."
An item really doesn't belong in the religion forum, in most cases, unless it is an overtly theological article.
If the Pope dies tomorrow, that would be a legit news item. If the Pope's theological directorate releases a treatise about Jesus' redemption, then it's theological.....religious forum material.
