My current opinion is the following: While there is definitely some crossover between math and philosophy and some mathematics (especially mathematical logic) is relevant to philosophy, that doesn't mean that every mathematical question arising in a philosophy class is on-topic for this site. In particular, while I don't know exactly where to draw the ...

Ooker. I have undeleted the question and apologise that your request for migration was not acted on.

Philosophy aims to study fundamental questions, whereas religion aims to study the implications of pre-set answers to fundamental questions.
