I think religious fanaticism is a pretty low bar. One that people cheering for a game can and probably should rise above fairly easily.
Yet I don't see that large of a difference between the two groups, look at Soccer fans in England and Europe, Raiders fans, Yankees fans, etc.

I'm not saying there isn't an issue, I am saying that no matter what people do, I feel this will cause a watered down discussion forum. Name calling can go a bit far but many people that care enough to discuss this will have strong enough feelings to defend their opinion and sometimes in life you have to deal with name calling as juvenile as it is.

I'm not defending the negative aspects but I do defend free speech. CP has a built in function to allow you to avoid users that consistently post against what you believe is civil, use it.
