But what Iron's Rite just said was that religion itself stems from philosophical questions. "Why are we here?" "What is our purpose?" etc etc.

I believe, as Iron's Rite appears to believe, and as derdy appeared to believe before her untimely departure, that those questions are of a philosophical nature, even if the answer to them, for many, was religion. The fact that they are asked at all, represents a philosophical aspect of human nature.

Now please, one more time, tell me how philosophy and religion are different, because I just can't get enough of hearing you say it.
