Agreed that religion and serious subjects should be off list - and
that's coming from a J.W. I would also like to see bad temper and bad
language kept off list.
The fact is, 97% of this is blocked, and our mail gets through. That
leaves a small percentage that does get through, and such must be the
case to allow guys on half set up systems to plead for help. Very few
messages are declared spam which are not spam, and this is the price we
pay for that trade off. I can assure you, spammers have the most up to
date spamassassin versions too!
Presuming you are not receiving mail from otherwise spam free sourcess,
set up your own filter. Then you'll appreciate the difficulties. Here
was my filter's output (It was declared spam)

pts rule name description
---- ----------------------

0.1 EXCUSE_3 BODY: Claims you can be removed from the list
0.1 EXCUSE_7 BODY: Claims you can be removed from the list
2.0 MAILTO_TO_REMOVE URI: Includes a 'remove' email address
2.0 HTML_80_90 BODY: Message is 80% to 90% HTML
0.5 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
3.0 HTML_FONT_BIG BODY: HTML tag for a big font size
3.6 BODY_8BITS BODY: Body includes 8 consecutive 8-bit characters
BODY_8BITS, HTML_MESSAGE, MAILTO_TO_REMOVE could not be loaded as I have
them loaded on the LFS server, because they have to accomodate broken
mailers.
