   The matter is not totally religous!!  If the phenomenon can be explained
totally by the physical properties of the enviroment, then the topic
of the descussion is science.  What I've seen are a  few people offering
political  and pyschological explanations for the event which are
not totally orthogonal to science.  Scientists have been fooled before,
so checking out the posiblity that the event is a hoax is a reasonable
search path to take in investigating the event.

  Besides, if you don't like it, you know where the 'n' key is!!
