OK, so:
- discussion of or remarks pertaining to politics are prohibited everywhere except for the Politics Forum
- posts of a generally lascivious nature are prohibited everywhere except for the Off-Off-Topic Forum, where things are quite permissive
- The Off-Off-Topic Forum states in its title 'No religion'

Given this general movement toward certain subjects being taboo in all areas except where they're permitted, could it then be said to follow then that discussions of religion are therefore permitted in all areas of the Zone, with the exception of the Off-Off-Topic Forum?

Jes' askin'...

No. The Off-Off-Topic specifically denies the capability to post religious threads and have your screen personna survive the experience. It would be a mistake to reason that it is better to ask forgiveness than try to get permission to do the same in the other Forums. Just because it is not expressly forbidden doesn't mean it's permitted, site-wide.

Harry's a meanie.

Can't draw out an inane discussion without getting poofed right out of the gates...can't get a squeezeout management technique named after an odd, overweight ex-boxer with, like, a half-dozen sons all named after him...not a satisfactory state of affairs at all.

That tears it, I'm goin' ta bed...

Ah-ha! And, yet I notice that you haven't said it isn't forbidden. Hmm... (now where'd that Sherlock Holmes smilie get to...)
