I think it is civil for someone to state, "I believe that my religion is all true." I think this would be a civil statement, even if stating those beliefs or providing links to those beliefs would not be civil. If someone believes, then they believe. It is a statement of fact demonstrated by its having been written by the poster. It is not civil to state, "My religion is all true." This is not a fact (most probably), and is not civil if the beliefs of that religion are in conflict with any other religion (which they probably are).I think?
