I agree. The religious forums I've been a member of in the past have all allowed atheists and discussions about the possibility of God not existing, etc. So long as the intention was to have respectful discussion/disagreement, not to go on there and start bashing their faith.
Yet it's perfectly acceptable for them to come in here and bash us and tell us we're going to hell because we don't believe in their god. Honestly, religious folk should be looking to atheists as the example on tolerance because we tolerate theists far more than we should have to while they scream persecution the second an atheist doesn't agree with them.
