So as it stands now, scaling a major religion such as Christianity or Islam is banned. Now I have a few problems with this for many reasons, and I feel like it needs some discussion. First of all through and through it's a double standard. We tier Greek and Norse Mythology which were their own religions, and still are (Norse Mythology is actually making a come back in recent years). Now why is that? What makes Greek and Norse myth any less of a religion than something like Christianity? They are all mythologies, and the christian text has scalable texts just as any other mythology has.
People might make the argument "Well Christianity is a religion more people believe in than other myths like Greek and Norse." Well that argument is a fallacy of it's own right. We work to give accurate tiering and scaling, not appeal to the opinions of the masses for the sake of it. That'd be like making Saitama Tier 0 since people believe he's all powerful. And again, popularity doesn't make it any more of a religion than other mythologies.
People might flock towards this thread and say something like "Well this religion is real", not going to comment on whether the religion itself is true or not, but even if that is the case, people believed all their respective mythologies were real at some point (And some still think so actually), and even so, we tier real life characters and objects.
The only reason people seem to dislike it is because of double standards. It may spark some controversy, but how many times have we sparked controversy in the past? And even so why does that come before having cohesive standards and striving for accurate power placements?
