Sure: "Do you believe in a theist god?" I'd like to.
So we can keep using the word "theology" and keep some academic departments that have no subject. This would also include political science, arts, gender studies, french literature. Are you willing to go that far, and make what doesn't build bridges or bake bread, something to be learned as a podcast? Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. Dump them all.

Sure: "Do you believe in a theist god?" Does religion? Perhaps we need a useful 'theology' for both the religious and the atheist, and everyone else? Why?
