I moved your thread to a more appropriate forum. Part of our locking policy is to lock threads that either are intentionally antagonistic or that will lead/have led to discussions that "get out of hand" and are more insulting rather than debating. Not all political/religious threads start off that way, so they must be monitored in case they do turn that way. We currently do not have a rule against political/religious threads, so locking all of the at the beginning will not happen. I do wish for the old days when such threads were not permitted at all in the main forums.
