Boundaries are all well and good, but there are a few angles to explore on the subjects. :3 I rather like the idea of no subject being taboo, everything being open to conversation and personal exploration, and generally having everything open to debate and questioning.
However, seeing as that particular subject always manages to get a fellows knickers in a twist, it might be time for a slight revision to social etiquette. For example, asking somebody about their beliefs in order to have a pleasant conversation, should be just fine. Openly *TELLING* people all about your little faith system in an unsolicited manner, or alternately preaching with the intent to force conversion, should of course be seen in a negative light.
Also asking people about their faith as an invitation to preach about your own, should likewise be looked down upon. I personally wouldn't mind at all if people kept their faith between themselves and their god, and stopped bothering the rest of us. :3
