It's the Religion Forum. Where people discuss religion. There is no faith requirement to discuss religion, last time I checked.

This question is posed every year by strange people like you. It makes you look... not very intelligent.

We understand you don’t like religion so just go away.
Instead of posting so many stupid things here.

PP you replied to. I love religion, which is why I post. Also, I'm culturally Catholic.

I will defend anyone's right to post, as long as they're not overwhelmingly nasty.

***It is important that this forum welcomes all faiths, as well as atheists and agnostics!!!***

Correct,
But when the majority of posts in religion section are taken over by non believers it loses its meaning.
It’s will be like Restaurant and food section being taken over by people who like to talk about dieting.

Whose fault is that?

Could it be the religious, because of their inability to logically defend their position? Or, more likely, their desire to avoid the facts and evidence, or lack thereof?

I’m “just asking”. lol. Since that is a theme of this thread.

They don’t have to logically defend their faith.
No body is preaching to you here.
If I am asking specific question about Jesus from the gospel I want Christians to answer it or people who know about it.
I don’t want majority posts to be Jesus didn’t exist.

If you want someone to keep blowing smoke up your a$$, that's what Sunday school or Bible study are for. If you post to an anonymous online forum, you are going to be exposed to truth, even if it's hard for you to read.

because they believe in something too.

A lot of atheists understand Christianity better than the Christians themselves.

That is why there is Politics section in DCUM.

Religious people frequently seem to think that atheists are "searching" - presumably for religion. In fact, many atheists went through a period of searching before arriving at non-belief in religion.

Atheists haven't "arrived" at anything. Obviously. They are still searching and are clearly uncomfortable where they are.

That is why they are here.

And religious people who come here are obviously mind readers. (See above).

Hey - I'm an atheist mind-reader! I think that the religious poster who started this thread wants atheists to stay away from this forum because they want an echo chamber for their beliefs. Could this be incorrect? Not possible, even though no messages from God are being received, because there is no god.

Religion and politics certainly should be separate. But religious people are pushing their religious beliefs into politics in real life, which is an actual problem.

Then find a dorum explicitly for Christians. This aint it.

If I am in fashion section,
I like to discuss with people who like fashion.
If I am in politics section,
I like to discuss with people who like politics.
If I am in Food/Restaurant section,
I like to discuss with people who like it.
Really it’s not complicated.

When you're in a section of the newspaper, do you expect to hear about only the fashion that you prefer? only the politics you support? or the food you like? I've never seen a newspaper like that. I do know about a cable TV news channel, though, but I never watch it, or any cable TV news.
