That's because they're getting their information from poor sources. I'd suggest the same goes for Christianity. To really understand where they're at, you should immerse yourself in their culture, attempt to interact with them on their own turf. See what they say when they have the confidence that comes with numbers.
This is good for honing debating skills-- you can't win a debate easily if you don't really know what your opponent is likely to say.
Most of us here have come from a religious background, so there's always that. Being realistic, the only way any debate is going to happen is if it's here because it's already been said that those christian forums make it impossible for non-believers to actually have a voice if the non-believer tries to speak up.
So far it's been a test of patience. I'm looking at threads where everyone is piling on about how great the Republican tax cuts are. I think you may have a point about better debate happening here, Joods. One thing I'd like to do, as a side point is address some people's misunderstanding about atheism. So even if there is little logical debate to be had, I can at least say some sensical things on behalf of atheists.
