The funny thing is that most conlangers have had an initial period during which they though they thought they were (almost) the only ones, and that conlanging was an aberration of some sort. The common feeling when we finally discovered the world of conlangers could best be described as "Wow!". > A religion-free language, which I was looking for, might be a conlang, > because natlangs can't be divided from culture, history and religion of > their users. I'm afraid I can't really follow your here. In my view, a language is merely a means of communication. You can use it for communicating religious content as well as non-religious. I wouldn't say that any text written in Biblical Hebrew is carrying any religious burden; you can also translate "Das Kapital" or Stephen King's "It" into it, without making it any more or less religious.
