Reply #30: No, it isn't "inflammatory"

The OP states: "Nuclear Power Is Like a Religion"

That means there are parallels between the structure adopted by the nuclear industry and the structure of religion. Several posts have given good reasons for concluding that this is true. If you don't agree or approve, then perhaps you could explain WHY those points of similarity are, in fact, not accurate.

What you seem to be doing is acknowledging the parallels and disapproving of discussion about them.

I'll add another that hasn't yet been discussed except in the OP:

Proselytizing is the act of attempting to convert people to another opinion and, particularly, another religion. ... the word proselyte denoted a gentile who was considering conversion to Judaism. Though the word proselytism originally referred to Early Christianity (and earlier Gentiles), it also refers to other religions' attempts to convert people to their beliefs or even any attempt to convert people to another point of view, religious or not. Today, the connotations of proselytizing are often negative and the word is commonly used to describe attempts to force people to convert; however, this article will be using it in the more neutral meaning of attempting to convert.

We could also go into other attributes associated with religions, like

Apostasy ...a defection or revolt, ... is the formal disaffiliation from or abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person. One who commits apostasy apostatizes and is an apostate. These terms have a pejorative implication in everyday use. The term is used by sociologists to mean renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to, a person's former religion, in a technical sense and without pejorative connotation. The term is sometimes also used by extension to refer to renunciation of a non-religious belief or cause, such as a political party, brain trust, or, facetiously, a sports team.

Apostasy is generally not a self-definition: very few former believers call themselves apostates because of the pejorative implications of the term. Many religious movements consider it a vice (sin), a corruption of the virtue of piety, in the sense that when piety fails apostasy is the result.

Many religious groups and some states punish apostates. Apostates may be shunned by the members of their former religious group<1> or subjected to formal or informal punishment. This may be the official policy of the religious group or may be the action of its members....

Or

Heresy is a controversial or novel change to a system of beliefs, especially a religion, that conflicts with established dogma.<1> It is distinct from apostasy, which is the formal denunciation of one's religion, principles or cause,<2> and blasphemy, which is irreverence toward religion.<3> The founder or leader of a heretical movement is called a heresiarch, while individuals who espouse heresy or commit heresy, are known as heretics. Heresiology is the study of heresy.

I've always been fond of the "compare and contrast" method of discussion for topics like this myself. Perhaps you'd like to focus more on contrasting to balance the comparisons others are making.
