He's messing with you, Gre.
We refer to people who come here peddling religion as being the same as door-to-door rock-crusher salesmen.
Until you show us that you're one of the ridiculous types who think we've never heard all the religious argument there are, I hope everyone here chooses to treat you as a welcome guest. We do have several theists (including a Catholic) who are beloved members of this community, and we welcome all points of view.
However, we also have a large number of very arrogant theists (including a Catholic or two) who speak down to us, refuse to listen to us, and in general treat us like dogs. We have little mercy on such people.
Meanwhile, welcome to AF, and hopefully our greeter will be here soon with your Welcome Waffles.

Where are you from? You don't sound like English is your first language. You might want to add that fact to your signature, if so; it will help keep people from mocking you for poor grammar/syntax.
The restrictions aren't as bad as they seem at first. They're mainly there to protect us against people who think it's okay to spam our boards or otherwise be disrespectful/disruptive. A great many Christians who come here (briefly, before being banned) think that they can treat us any way they want because we are infidels. To be fair, that's better than most of the ways infidels have been attacked in the past.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
