The project is incompatible with fundamentalist religion - it is Not aligned with any one religion / spiritual system,
It is secular / non religious in nature
Aims to be all inclusive - But can't be if certain groups / demographics claim that they are ultimately right & everyone else is wrong.
If you are aligned with such a belief system then this project is Not for you.

fundamentalist [ˌfʌndəˈmɛnt(ə)lɪst] NOUN a person who believes in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion. "religious fundamentalists" ADJECTIVE relating to or advocating the strict, literal interpretation of scripture. "a fundamentalist Protestant preacher" Fundamentalism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FundamentalismFundamentalism usually has a religious connotation that indicates unwavering attachment to a set of irreducible beliefs.[1] However, fundamentalism has come to be applied to a tendency among certain groups – mainly, although not exclusively, in religion – that is characterized by a markedly strict literalism as it is applied to certain specific scriptures, dogmas, or ideologies, and a strong sense of the importance of maintaining ingroup and outgroup distinctions,[2][3][4][5] leading to an emphasis on purity and the desire to return to a previous ideal from which advocates believe members have strayed. Rejection of diversity of opinion as applied to these established "fundamentals" and their accepted interpretation within the group often results from this tendency.[6] Depending upon the context, the label "fundamentalism" can be a pejorative rather than a neutral characterization, similar to the ways that calling political perspectives "right-wing" or "left-wing" can have for some negative connotations.[7][8] What Is Religious Fundamentalism? Almost every major belief system in the world has believers who use their faith to strictly guide their daily lives and views, at times resulting in violence. www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-religious-fundamentalism.htmlChristian fundamentalism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fundamentalismChristian fundamentalism began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among British and American Protestants[1][2] as a reaction to theological liberalism and cultural modernism. Fundamentalists argued that 19th-century modernist theologians had misinterpreted or rejected certain doctrines, especially biblical inerrancy, which they considered the fundamentals of the Christian faith.[3] Fundamentalists are almost always described as having a literal interpretation of the Bible. A few scholars label Catholics who reject modern theology in favor of more traditional doctrines fundamentalists.[4] Scholars debate how much the terms "evangelical" and "fundamentalist" are synonymous.[5] In keeping with traditional Christian doctrines concerning biblical interpretation, the role of Jesus in the Bible, and the role of the church in society, fundamentalists usually believe in a core of Christian beliefs which include the historical accuracy of the Bible and all of the events which are recorded in it as well as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.[6]

I just prefer the sexier words: Bible thumper, evangelical, disciple, follower of the way. I'm a shameless fool.

It's up to you what you think, do & believe - was simply laying out the particular aims of this forum / project & how it's not aligned to any forms of extremism / fundamentalism.

People are free to discuss what they like on the forum now - i'm not going to try & moderate any of it in the relevant sections
If people want to proselytize, discuss the devil / demons / hell / final judgment / damnation / the Bible / Christian cosmology & prophesy / Armageddon etc then they are free to
If people want to discuss Christianity / Islam / Judaism / Buddhism / Hinduism - they are free to discuss anything they like
Climate change denial / Trump & Boris supporters - anything now - am not controlling it all

But still relating to healing sanctuaries, mental health, psychiatry? Sure - But seeing as there isn't the interest in the project vision / source documents it doesn't really matter.

But could drive some people away -me- if there was no monitoring at all. I recognise there is an issue here - whether we should have the liberty to say whatever we like and in any way.

Given some aspects of the internet, I dont blame you.
I also think there are just too many links that we might follow. I've watched some youtube videos and been surprised at how few views they have , let alone comments. The pandemic has also I think drawn more people into putting stuff on the internet.- there's just too much to give any of it much thought let alone constructive comment. And some of us are playing scrabble (tongue in cheek).
You have colected a lot of significant material on your site but how many of us have - or put the time - into following up these issues.
I still think you could think more about preserving it. When I was updating my will , the solicitor asked about my digital aspects. Did I want to leave them to anyone (this would still require them to know my passwords). Maybe you could approach a health authority, university department, voluntary organisation or friend to 'inherit' the material on your site. All they would need to do (I think) is accept your offer and have a record of a password to access it.
A lot has progressed in the 10 years you have maintained your site . Interesting historically. Wellcome Institute ? Especially as you come as a schizophrenic/service user who has run this site .

None of it has progressed in the way i originally envisioned. There is more division & argument within all these areas as there ever has been.
