Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate

Much better.After reading the revised post I think a better title would be "Religion and Knowledge", "Religion vs Knowledge", or "Religion Stifles Knowledge".You aren't really discussing evil as the majority would view it. You'll have people spending more time correcting your definition of evil and not the topic.I will promote the topic when you've decided on a new title. Let me know.
