True, but I don't think that has everything to do with people being unable to distinguish between the two. I'm pretty sure that we all agree that religious discussion has its place on TFP, and undoubtedly the most appropriate forum available is Tilted Philosophy.

It would seem to me that having distinct philosophy and religion forums would be helpful, but very hard to moderate. While each pursuit certainly has areas that have little to do with the other, there a quite a bit of overlap when it comes down to application.

Epistemology... I love that word.
