First of all if I were to see banning as necessary I would probably ban the people that think anyone who thinks different than they do are utter assholes first. Being an asshole is human nature. So, in a theist forum I would, if forced by popular demand, to ban atheists just for being atheists I would ban the theists instead.
If someone is an utter asshole ignore them or play along with them which makes you an asshole as well. Be honest and fair about that. If it disrupts the forum, and I mean it really disrupts the forum, I don't mean it gets the atheists or theists panties in a bind because they're fucking idiots, then warn, temporarily ban, etc. Eventually, if someone keeps coming back and doing the same thing you may have to get rid of them.
I personally tend to recoil from political correctness or phony "Christian" niceties more than assholery.
Since I don't know the context here, I am in no position to judge the moderation of this forum.
But I would be surprised if an atheist forum was so readily banning religious visitors (in a biased manner), you know how many debate-hungry atheists are on Reddit? Just go make a post on r/debateanatheist and you will see what I'm talking about. There is no shortage of atheists to argue with on Reddit if you are seeking that. A bunch of debate-bros.
Hail Satan!
