Well, I'll bow to the practitioners of theology here. I've certainly

your word for it.
Moved beyond it? I took my first degree in theology in 1980 - yes, in a university run by Jesuits but there was no presumption of belief on the part of the students.
What is the primary difference between Religious Studies and Theology as
a discipline then? :-)
