Drawing the line on the topic of discussion, instead of the type of argument seems dangerous.
I have not seen a single signature on this site with a caption similar to "My religion is better than yours because...". You make a good point that it needs to apply, but I think this is a reasonable ban. While I had no problem with political banners, a few users did, and it was getting to the point that people were arguing over their signatures. I think if there was a problem with religiousness in the signatures, it would be brought to light and fixed. The question is, what do you define is a problem?
