This thread is a great example of that. Religious threads were "banned" on the board...but what that means in reality is that threads that contained too much opposition to religion were getting RA'ed and they needed to go. Pro-religious threads are fine...and you can take swipes at atheists all you want. The minute someone returns serve, suddenly atheists are all loud mouthed and never shut up. It's comical really.

While I understand where you are coming from here, its posts like these that cause the problem:

But there is validity to this. It's not that someone disagrees with them, it's that someone cites 2,000 year old mythology or fairy tales that contradict modern science as their chief supporting evidence. That begets an appropriate response.

Its that fact that civil discussions weren't had because idiots like the guy I quoted couldn't post their point without trying to make fun of those that are religious. And that all goes back to the vocal minority of atheists that believe that they are better than everyone else, just like the vocal minority of crossfitters and vegans.


ETA: I don't think there are as many religious people in the US as you think. I think there are a lot more non believers than just 10%
