1. I think as an attempt at comparitive religion it is a poor word choice.

In the sense that the poster is using, all faith is "salvationist," in the sense that it is offering a path to attempt to remove yourself from suffering. The poster doesn't have much of a point other than to be a downer. I question the utility of debating such a term in producing any meaningful understanding of what the basic theosophical question ought to be. Posts like this are why I stay out of the religion group; kvetching over militant atheism just isn't karmic for my path.
