    You're initial post was about Religion. As a known and avowed atheist - you made the discussion primarily about religion. I'm sure it is understandable that the conversation would further revolve around that topic.

    Any conversation about religion with people who actually believe in their own becomes a peeing contest.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    I think your post indirectly answers my question.

    No, my original post was about legal discrimination of women and the false assumption that Islam was mainly to blame for that. In fact, as I wrote, the report shows that religion as such (any denomination) takes second place after poverty as an obvious determinant.

    Maybe the fact that religion is mentioned in a post is enough for some members to assume that it is about religion, even if said post explicitly denies this.
