They don't need Christians here for this to work. It works fine without Christians because it is an atheist forum, not a religious debate forum. They need differing opinions, and for that they have plenty on a myriad of topics. The most productive reason for having Christians on an atheist forum, is to allow them to vent their hatred on. Do you still wonder why you feel ganged up on? It's called being in the minority and it doesn't make you a victim because you choose to be here. Since, as a Christian, I don't feel ganged up on regularly, perhaps this has nothing to do with your beliefs, but more to do with your persona?
"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
