It is not a taboo topic for me, but I don't talk it about often anyway (except right now of course.) I actually don't mind talking about religious beliefs whenever it comes up but I do not have strong opinions about them.
shareNot taboo for me as an agnostic at all, it's a subject I am very interested in. But it is difficult to discuss religion ( Christianity specifically ) with true believers without stepping on their toes so I prefer to avoid doing that if I can.
Same. I'm an atheist (from a Christian family) but I still respect people's choices.... as long as they don't disrespect other's views. It goes both ways.
Just be a decent person and help others when you can. That's all I need to know, and religion isn't needed to know that for most people.
That's great!

It kind of is for me (I was raised in the "Don't publicly talk about religion and politics" era). I will talk about religion at times (and I appreciate the tolerance that's shown here, for the most part...there have been some really good discussions on this site), but I do see it being mostly a "private matter" and "none of my business" here.
shareI heard that adage before and I try to follow it. But not to the point where religion is a totally taboo subject.
shareGee, I wonder when we'll hear from the posters who cite "religion" as a justification to disparage marginalized people and cast sanctimonious judgment.
My bookshelves are lined with more different types of bibles and other scripture collections than most people's are with dictionaries. Harry Potter is a more taboo subject.
Hehe...good point!
