<p>^ I think it’s because you can never tell how well it’s going to be received. Some will receive it well and not judge, others will, and still others will judge harshly (religion is, in and of itself, not academic and thus some will see it as not “intellectual”; theology, on the other hand, is different). Since you can’t tell which will be the case, it’s risky. You generally want to avoid high risks.</p>
