Hmm, there could have been an unconscious association between "religeon"
and "dungeon", but so far as I know the last time religious folk spent
any significant amount of time hanging around in dungeons was during the
office of Torquemada.  Rather casts the expression (I paraphrase):

"The answer to such people is to either to educate them or to get rid of
such people"

in a whole new light. :-)  Well, I knew I was flirting with heresy...
