Is Yahoo Answers irresponsible for having a Religion & Spirituality section?

This site is supposed to be about ANSWERS, not opinions. Religion is based solely on opinion, no answers or facts. So was it a mistake for Y!A to include an R & S section, since there can be no definitive answers when it comes to Religion and Spirituality?

Why do people who answer spirituality questions introduce their own dogma as though it were incontrovertible?

There have been a number of questions in the religion and spirituality realm from people seeking *information* on both spirituality and organized religions. Often, the answers not only don’t address the question, they attempt to proselytize for their own belief system.

Why is that?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to offer a community in which people can discuss, without fear of judgment, their personal concerns and beliefs?
Can you tell me why Religion and Spirituality are?

On Y/A Religion and Spirituality appear under questions about that topic, but that is not a category in the category box on the left of the screen?
How do I go straight to that category without first clicking on the question?

I should state that I know what religion is, but I do not get how spirituality does not go hand in hand with religion. The two seem like compliments.

When people ask questions about religion or spirituality do you sense they generally have a hidden agenda?

I really don’t know what to think sometimes and would like your perceptions and opinions. I read a lot of questions in the religion and spirituality category and have to wonder sometimes what the asker’s motive is in asking the question. If there are hidden agendas what might some of them be? I’m very interesting in getting your opinions. Thanks.

Do you find the Religion and Spirituality section frustrating?

I often see people in other sections saying they tend to stay away from the Religion and Spirituality section because it’s just way too intense for them. They often say it is the worst section to visit. In one answer I read just now, the answerer described it as a “ferocious environment”.

Do you think this is true?
Personally I find this section hilarious, it doesn’t annoy me one bit.
Do you think Religion and Spirituality should be 2 different categories?

Religion for people who have the answer, and Spirituality for those who enjoy the search?

How do you make any distinction between spirituality and religion?

We often use these words as if they were one and the same, or because we have seen them being used together. Has someone ever tried to comprehend what these two words “religion” and “spirituality” stand for in the exact sense. Is being religious means being spiritual or vice versa? I will love to hear your thoughts on this.

How do you define the difference between religion and spirituality? ?

For you personally how does religion differ to spirituality and how is it the same? Are you religious AND spiritual or just one or the other? If you are religious does that mean you adhere to one particular doctrine, eg. Christianity, and follow the bible, go to church. OR Muslin, believe in the Koran and visit the mosque? If you are religious do you HAVE to go to church?

Personally I don’t follow any set religion, but I consider myself to be spiritual. Just wondered how “religious” people view religion and spirituality?
