I understand the desire to avoid keywords that attack others.

But if a thread is posted that is clearly meant to cast aspersions on a religion (like a thread that says someone quit the Catholic church, and lists the reasons the Catholic church is wrong), isn’t the keyword “catholicbashing” an appropriate tag indicating the purpose of the post?

Could you at least suggest another keyword that would indicate threads that are attacks on religions, so that people who search for attacks on their own faith can easily find them and add their defense of their religion?

I really thought that the phrase “xbashing”, where x is the name of the religion, was a good way of doing that.

Good point. I didn't think of that.

You could ping the defenders or come up with a keyword that is not a slam, e.g. Answer.

But do not use keywords to carry on a flame war.

I agree. There have been a number of catholic bashing threads lately.

Should it be a thing that we ask the Religion Moderator to add?
