Min, I think I’m about as fed up with the safe place snowflake BS as I am of taunting atheists. Both are just rude for no reason, but your opinion noted.
Theist should remember that this is an atheist forum and we are guests in “their house” and everyone else should have the courtesy to have a hospitable house. That obviously couldn’t be done on the main forums because for some atheist this is an escape from their world of religious crap. If anyone really sees a problem with it they should propose a productive alternative and just let people be passive aggressive, assholish or whatever suits them in life.
Personally, if I visit someone’s house and their teenage kid comes out smelling of roadkill and shouting obscenities, I wouldn’t leave unless asked to or if that kid made it too unbearable to stay. This isn’t about whether they stay or go or who got their feeling hurt. This is about whether everyone here needs to see it. I don’t think everyone should have to see it if they don’t want. Any thoughts on a subscribe only filter to new posts? It seems to suit both sides.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
