I think that a religion/political section might cause controversy, but maybe we could have a debate section in the future, and just bring some of these things up? I don't usually talk about religion or politics, so I don't know how active that would be.
The Religion/political sections on other forums becomes very heated. A lot of members will fall out over there. Something to consider.
I think if the section was to be made, it should be held off, for now...
When there's more members it can be made, otherwise not enough different views and opinions are there to sustain healthy debate, it turns into arguing/bickering.
