I'd just like to point out that creating new boards to move off-topic shit to is not a cure all solution. Just remove the off-topic shit, that's the janitor's destiny. People will not magically move over just because there's a board where it's topical; and mind you, there already is one and it's /his/. A better solution to this problem ought to be relentless mass deportation to /his/ whenever it's topical; not that it'll do much for /pol/ just like /bant/ hasn't stopped any off-topic threads from being made on /pol/.

However, philosophy is big enough of a topic that it sufficiently warrants its own board, religion on the other hand? Unless you're talking about prayer group/blog/larp /pol/ threads (which belong on random boards or begrudgingly, /soc/) I personally don't think there should be any consideration for it given that /his/ has more religion threads than philosophy threads anyway; not to mention that the combination of a board exclusively for philosophy and religion sounds shoehorned. While there is overlap between some philosophy and religion there ought to be a line drawn between theology and worship (mind you, that theology itself has little to do with philosophy which is yet another nail in the coffin). Ultimately /his/ being a humanities board already sufficiently satisfies the theological aspect of religion and therefor makes such a creatura de las janimericas redundant.

If anything, /his/ should be rebranded to /hum/ - Humanities to better reflect the board's topics without giving special treatment to one given topic; which as a matter of fact better reflects the liberal tradition on which such studies are founded upon.
