Yeah I mean I don't think we're going to sort this one out, it's a pretty central and deep philosophical question. Like I said, deep and dangerous waters.

I guess for practical purposes I can rephrase my initial point as: there might be some limitations and issues with considering religions from a purely theological point of view.

I can get behind that. It's not that I'm saying that there can never be any political element to religion, but I do think it can be useful to differentiate between theological and political and elements that are a mixture of both within a religion.
For example, Religion A saying "all members of Religion B are evil hellspawn born of the Destroyer" may have political roots, but it's being couched in theological concepts, so I'd lean towards theology for that specific issue.
Then again, the question comes down to what exactly we're trying to define and discuss etc. in each situation.
