Having been raised Unitarian Universalist, I always find it very odd that "religion" is conflated with "unquestionable dogma". I don't think Unitarians have that any more than LessWrong does.

That said, if "religion" is being used as a shorthand for "unquestionable dogma", then the comments about religion make significantly more sense :)

ie they won't burn you at the stake, and they won't stick around to be questioned when they can find someone else to talk to who'll agree with them.

I'm curious if you're being sarcastic or serious. It's hard to tell online :)
