A few reasons, really.
#1. Finding like minded people. Honestly I'm a bit more confident in my atheism since coming to this board. I don't know that many atheists in real life. And I have a LOT of religious people surrounding me. I remember back when I was a theist, I was stupidly offended by those "You know it's a myth" billboards. But now, I realize that as an atheist it's easy to feel alone.
#2. Debating with theists is always good. You can't really do it on most Christian Forums without being ganged up on or kicked off.
#3. I get a lot of my news from here. I wouldn't have heard about a lot of the stories I hear about without Minimalist lol
#4. To commiserate about religion. Seriously it's pretty messed up.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
