I mean, if he believes what he's saying and he's not trying to convert you, he's just stating his beliefs. When I was staff, that was a particularly tough "rule" (not even sure it exists anymore) to enforce. This place would be boring without theists, in my opinion, and they're going to have opinions about god. That's just how it is.
Missionary action get mistaken with the rule you stated.
On the internet, many people preach their faiths; or even political affiliation. There are Chat rooms that offers that; there are also forums and social media accounts that do the same.
It's not just tricky; it's even impossible for some to tell the difference between a preaching account and between a normal one. Excuses like "I want to reconsider my faith- I want to discover other faiths- I want to look into the faith you guys have- or even :I no longer believe; help me..." are common excuses to get into the online community.
Ignorance of the agenda of the preaching membership helps also.
The motivation range from salaries given by groups, to personal service for the cause.
Ban the missionary, and they might return under a different username and invent a different identity.
Lying is mainly a must for missionaries to practice what they do.
I hate missionaries because I believe they ruined their real environment, and now they want to ruin the internet too. But anonymity and ability to create an account after an account are a reason that gives a hug to this phenomena.
