Honesty and the spirit of inquiry,even criticism,expressed civilly is welcome on every atheist forum I've visited,and I've visited many. It's rare for anyone to be banned except for spamming,sock puppetry or being really offensive and even that varies between forums.
From what I've seen it's the Christian and Muslim forums which are unable to accept honest questions or criticism of their beliefs. I'll concede that death threats do seem rarer on Christian forums.
If you truly have an open mind,your beliefs may change. Mine did,over about 20 years from rabid Catholic,to occultist to agnostic to atheist. My atheism is not a matter of choice,it's where my questions led me once I lost my fear of disbelief.
I hope you hang around.
