i'm not sure how many Quakers we have on the boards, but a Quakerism section under Christianity might be cool.

another forum i go to dealt with this issue by waiting until there was interest from a member(s) of the not-yet-included group. that way there could be discussion with people who practiced said religion, not just "outside commentary" or some such.

That's basically what we do too, Gracie... let me see what I can do about getting a Quaker forum...

Some other religions/belief systems (with links to information on them):

Transhumanism: www.transhumanism.org
Utilitarianism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism
Discordianism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism
Invisible Pink Unicorn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_pink_unicorn
Otherkin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin
Starseeds: http://www.paoweb.com/starwhat.htm
Rainbow Family of Living Light: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_family

Some people would call a bit "crazy", but probably no crazier than other more socially-acceptable mainstream religions

http://www.otherkin.net is the semi-'official' Otherkin site, but it seems to be down currently. There's a handful of Otherkin forums as well, as well as an otherkin.org (which appears to be focused more on the vampires), various dragon-kin sites (draconic.com, for example), and probably an endless supply of animal-kin sites. The humanoid 'kin don't seem to be as numerous, or just haven't gotten around to making their own sites yet (although I did find an angel-kin forum a while back, but it's mostly inactive).

Yes, transhumanism kind of interests me My first reaction is to dismiss it as "what a lot of superstitious nonsense!"

But, where it intrigues with the beautiful philosophy of transhumanism, it intrigues me...not the spirit-vampires, or mythic languages or anything...but the one, transcendant thought of "I do not have to be a human. I can be more than that." What a powerful idea.

But then with therianthropes the questions leads to, "By philosophically becoming no longer human, are you progressing into a more sublime, divine state or regressing into a more base, animal state?" Not to insult anyone who worships the nobility of the wild beast...but I think we can all agree that spiritual conversation is a lot more engaging as us big-brained humans that it would be as a pack of wolves :P

Dinogrrl, are you an otherkin? Pardon me if I'm rude, just wondering
