I've noticed that the Lemonade Stand has been recently split into a main forum, a forum devoted to other bands, and a forum devoted to sports.
Likewise, PLEBA has been split to create forums for fan fiction, band sightings, and personal threads.
I believe that Free Your Mind could also be split into at least two forums: one devoted to politics, one devoted to religion.
Taking a cue from "New York," we could name the religious and political threads, "Religious Nuts" and "Political Fanatics," respectively.
If one looks at the recent lifespan of FYM, one can easily see that there are a LOT of threads for both topics, and MOST of the threads fall cleanly into one category or the other.
Breaking the forum into two groups seems like a logical extension of what has already occured in other parts of the forum - and a reasonable way to organize FYM.
I must be completely honest about my intentions: I am currently banned from FYM - for reasons that deal primarily with the political threads. Such a split could allow me to access the religion threads while remain banned from the political threads: it still would accomplish what the mods want (to keep me from engaging in political arguments) while allowing me to do what I want (discuss religion in general and Christianity specifically).
If FYM were split, I would request being allowed to read and post within the religion forum.
Admin, moderators, FYMers: any thoughts?
