Recognizing the existence of different forms, or types, of love is not
merely a Christian compartmentalization; it is Greek, and in fact is
embedded in that language.  So there is certainly no need whatever to
assign any religious significance to the division!

One further note is that dividing types of love into three compartments
is a typically Greek approach, dividing a whole into a set number of
parts.  This is also a typical characteristic of highly technical
people (like the majority of people on the net).  It is probably more
productive to recognize the existence of different forms of love, and
not try so hard to categorize one's emotions too much.
