Go ahead and argue the details all you want, but -

It's ironic and very insightful that this site is dedicated to a native religion, but we're only allowed to post ethnocentric upper middle class Western views of it.

Of course Tiki is and was a religion. But any discussion of this purely from the native's religious viewpoint is literally forbidden on TC!

By limiting the discussion to entertaining aspects of a tourists-eye view of world of Tiki, we're forced to make fun of it. It's in fact a rule here. And its shameful.
