With a few exceptions (anti-Semitism, supremacists and the ilk) - I do not purge condemnations of theologies or philosophies or theories or authors or religious leaders – only condemnations of other Freepers.

ok, so -if I understand you correctly- one could safely assert in trumpeting boldness, with no fear of repercussions from the Mods, on a religion thread, something along the lines of...

"All variants of [creed X] are pure bunk, so much and so obviously so that belief in any thereof seems the very definition of abject ignorance and certifiable lunacy"?

...irrespective of what "creed X" might be specified as being?

as a side note - "Particularly with regard to theology and philosophy, such conduct is almost never stupidity or mendacity. It is most always a matter of belief" is essentially irrelevant when the -ah- "habitual poster of inaccuracy" is making patently false statements concerning verifiable empirical data.
It's a nice excuse, for philosophers, but does not cover those who blatantly and demonstrably misrepresent facts.
