Just my opinion CMS39 but I think there's a vast difference between discussing one's own religion as it applies personally to one's own mental health and/or impacts one's mental illness, etc. than talking about "religion" in general in the sense of debating one religion against another, preaching and/or proselytizing. I really think the caveat is meant to be against that sort of thing or against people pushing one another to "turn to God" as the "solution" instead of exploring medical & scientific (psychiatric/psychological) avenues to mental health. But you'd have to ask Doc John about that -- this is strictly my opinion & "guess" -- I certainly can't speak for the whole forum or its creators/administrators!
