For example,
R&S > Christianity
R&S > Islam
and so on.
Then further subdivisions could be used to refine the category, such as:
R&S > Christianity > Lutheranism
R&S > Islam > Sunni
This would encourage civilized discussion and reduce most of the trolls here to carpet-eating frothery, as they would have to post in dozens of places just to get the same effect that they now get by posting in one place. Granted, the trolls you will always have with you, but insha'Allah this would significantly slow them down.
@darwinsfriend: Broad categories could be established for the major movements within each religion. For example: Buddhism > Theravada and Christianity > Lutheranism. It probably wouldn't be necessary to have a different one for each of the many different Lutheran sects.
@Aobhríl: the initial categories could be organized broadly either as you propose or by any other rational approach, then subdivided. The goal is to make enough subdivisions to make R&S "user friendly" for those who want to have discussions and place obstacles in the path of trolls.
@doug and terry w: Initially dividing it into two sections, one being Religion and the other Spirituality, is another way that might work, just like Aobhríl's might work. The important thing is to have enough alternatives to make life difficult for trolls, who would then be forced to post everywhere just to get what they get now with just one post.
