I disagree. In essence, calling something retarded *is* calling it fucking stupid.
My feeling is that you call Christianity retarded, but not Christians as a whole...in the thread title. Then again, you could be construed as making fun of mentally retarded people in the thread title, which is equally uncool.
Just don't call entire groups of people names in thread titles. It's easy, people.
Yeah I meant that "retarded" is a slur generally used towards mentally retarded people, ergo as a slur, it's prohibited in thread titles. "Fucking stupid" doesn't carry the same kind of weight, so it's not a slur, unless you're using it to describe someone.
