In recent postings some Christians warned of the dangers of D&D.  I
think these people have a point.  D&D could be dangerous to theists.
Since some theists accept the existence of demons, deities and the
supernatural, it is possible that because of their belief system they
are more likely to confuse reality with imagination when playing the 
game.  On the other hand, atheists/agnostics/skeptics are less likely
to be affected by the game because their model of reality does not
include creatures of the imagination and supernatural beings.
