Problem is, we'd have to make separate SIGs for Western religions: buddhism, thaoism, shintoism and so on, which would be helpful, but the entire section will only get messier.

Another idea is that we can eliminate the special interest groups altogether. How can we stand as a united front, when we so willingly categorize and seperate ourselves. We should spend less time focusing on what makes us uniquie, and more time on what brings us together!

I still don't fully understand the reason of the SIGs

I would imagine they were originally created to be a more specific resource for people of other faiths. What i have trouble seeing is why people feel the need to narrow their resources in such a way. Would not a multitude of opinions, and a wider array of backgrounds, lead to a more concise and useful answer to a question?

I understand what you're saying, but why then should we even call this religion 'Jediism'?
Why not call it 'Humanism' since we're all humans...
Don't get me wrong I understand the negative aspects of classification, and I understand why they are ultimately meaningless. But as long as you understand that there is no reason to be against them for organisational purposes
If I want to find what views Christian/Islamic/Jewish etc... Jedi have on Jediism then it is useful to have a place that I can go to to find those views easily
Imagine not having any differentiation... everything would be in a part of the forum called 'Jediism' and we wouldn't be able to find a thing because it would be one massive mess of completely different posts and ideas...
Extreme example of course, but it illustrates my point that I think it is important to have separate forums for separate ideas
