I totally misunderstood what the hypothetical apostasy means [...] I guess you should downvote this article!

You might consider retitling it (and adding an explanation of why all the comments are about what "apostasy" means). Something like "What views do you defend that others find too weird to contemplate?", perhaps. I'm inclined to agree that it would have been better as an Open Thread post, but now that it's here it might as well get a more informative title.
