I believe it is of great value because it is only on an atheist forum that we can have a true and frank discussion of xtian and other religious issues. As atheists on xtian forums we do not have complete freedom to post challenging and possibly controversial views. We are likely to be suspended or banned. Some xtian forums even default to limiting where non xtians can post from when you first create and account and declare that you are a non xtian.
So in the interests of open and fair speech (but not harmful speech as this is unethical) I would support having a xtian section in atheist forums.
I really don't understand what you want here, nobody is being barred in any automatic way. TOS is equal to both atheists and theists. Of course there are going to be more atheists here because this is an atheist website. I find no use in having segregated sections.
Before I became an apostate, I was banned from a Christian forum ("Catholic Answers"), not for profanity or inflammatory comments, but for having "misguided" religious views. The head of Catholic Answers, Karl Keating, is a money-hungry con artist.
Of any board that I have ever encountered, this one has a great respect for free speech.
