Ban on discussion of religion or politics prevents film discussion.

[owa]

I think it's better to keep it out of the discussions. Every site I've been on that has allowed political/religious discussions has evolved into a nightmare for the mods and frequently it would spill over into other sections of the forum (b/c people just got too upset). Of course, it was probably worse in those cases b/c the sub-forum was just for discussing politics and religion whereas here, at least, it should be related to whatever movie being discussed. Anyway, I still think it's a bad idea to allow it.
