Much harder to be an atheist on a theist forum than vice versa because you are dealing with an entire belief system and so every thread will be referenced from that perspective. Atheism by contrast is not a belief system so other than non belief in God there is nothing that unifies atheists so discussions can be more open ended. I once tried to join Christian Forums but was banned immediately simply for saying that no idea was sacred and all should be exposed to critical rigour. I have zero interest in being a member of any forum which prohibits free and open discussion. Philosophy or non atheist rational forums in
my experience tend to be the best ones. And I say non atheist because having the word atheist in the forum title can be limiting even if rational forums generally have a significant number of atheists in them
