Just worldviews IMO

There's a good case to be made for this, although the name "Worldviews Board" seems kind of overboard hippie.

The more I think about how religious and tech subjects can be divided among several different boards, the more I think it might be for the best to leave the dividing lines ambiguous. That is, I think it might be best to leave "Religion" without a specific destination board.

If you want a "prayers needed" thread, start one on the O-T Lounge board.

If you want a "churches should lose their tax exempt status" thread or a "why do Jews vote Democrat?" thread or a "Obama messed up by offending Catholics" thread, start one on the Political Talk board.

If you want a "why the Gnostics were wrong about Original Sin" thread or a "Buddhism is more in line with modern science than Christianity" thread or "I can decipher the codes of the universe through Kabbalah" thread, start one on the Philosophy, Science, and Morality board.

Or maybe you could call it the Philosophy, Ultimate Reality, and Morality board. IDK. I'm still unclear on what the thing should be called. I do think it should have some tie-in to scientific and moral subjects, and perhaps should exclude the specific term "religion" for the purposes of the title.
