The stickies at the top reveal the reasoning behind the restrictions - I view the purpose of the forum, as a place to request/express thoughts & empathy, based on the shared experience of being sentient creatures with general desires to find footholds/understanding in environments where much is out of our direct control, or impossible to find answers for with the knowledge we currently possess. Sometimes getting into the specifics of religion can get in the way of that.

I'm not a mod/admin, or making an official comment in any way - just my interpretation.
