Provisionalism 

Pro·vi·sion·al·ism: listening with an open mind, openness to new possibilities.
Thomas Jefferson believed in provisionalism. He argued that because no generation has a right to bind subsequent generations, the Constitution should expire every 19 years.

Preligion 

1. Is the study of man, his behaviors, and beliefs before religion was introduced to man.

2. The thought that man was good, born without original sin and did not need to be cleaned or put into water for a baptism before Christianity.

3. A more peaceful time in mans history when there was no war over religion.
1. Man that lived on this planet before religion was introduced, the belief in one or more supernaturals, lived during a time of preligion.

2. I would like to go back to the time of preligion when man did not fight and start horrible deathly wars over the belief of a god or belief in a particular religion.

2. Many Atheists, Agnostic, Secular, FreeThinkers, and Humanists would like to have preligious thoughts and beliefs embraced and acknowledged.

provisioning

1. An umbrella term used in many Telecom companies that covers the process of adding a new service or expanding an existing service.

2. A catchy term that clueless sales guys use to refer to the deployment of complicated services when talking with their even-more-clueless customers. Engineers sometimes use this term will sales guys and customers as well, to avoid the confusion caused by explaining the technical nature of their work.
Example 1

You: "I ordered this internet circuit three months ago; where the hell is it?"
Internet Service Provider: "Oh, it appears there was an error in the provisioning process and that circuit was dropped to Alabama instead of New York.
You: "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU..."

Example 2

Customer: "When is our internets and servers and things going to be up and running?
Sales douche: "Well sir, our engineers are almost done provisioning these items for you. Isn't that right, engineer?"
Engineer: "FML... Yes, I will be 'provisioning' your entire IT infrastructure by the end of the week, like our sales guy promised on my behalf."
Customer: "That word sounded fancy and not too technical! I feel better now."
