tl;dr a religion and philosophy board might be a good idea, but it also might not be

I janny /pol/ and see a lot of religious threads (mostly Christianity and Paganism) that go through. /lit/ jannies I believe have to deal with the philosophy side of off-topic posts, and /his/ jannies have to deal with probably both (correct me if I'm wrong). The main problem is that these people spur good conversation most of the time - but it's off-topic for that board. I think a good analogy would be talking about video games on /g/. I want to talk about operating systems and hardware on /g/, not Skyrim.

My proposal is a religion and philosophy board, to talk about theology and philosophical... things. I don't have a good idea of what it *is*, but I have a very good idea of what could go wrong. Please remember that I'm coming from a /pol/ perspective so I don't really have much to say from the "philosophy" dept. So here's the list of holes that I'm aware of immediately:

* Religion and philosophy are not the same thing. Is this close enough of a distinction to let these topics share a board?
* Religion has been known to cause friction throughout literally all of written history. See: jews and muslims, christians and jews, muslims and christians, protestants and catholics, catholic and orthodox, sunni and shiite... It creates a breeding ground for hostility.
* The difference between theology and piousness - "what did the author mean by this" vs. hypothetical "prayer threads". The main question is "who is this board for?". Is it for people who want to pray with other followers? Is it for people who want to discuss the logical implications of religious laws? Is it for both?
* We already have /his/, /pol/, and /lit/ - this is the hardest argument to counter because it's true. The race is on to find the real-world example threads that would get the off-topic BR on all three boards.
