I'm not sure that there is a next step.  The Spoon collective 
has turned down the idea for now.  The best name for the list 
ended up being "Critical Theory of Religion" which described 
perfectly what I was getting at.  I think the idea is timely too 
but for lots of reasons I can see why it isn't timely yet.  The 
idea of setting up a temporary discussion group was raised.  
Any thoughts?
