Not a bad forum

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I wasn't trying to be mean. I'd like for him to stay here. I was just sarcastically pointing out that AF.com is much less hospitable to theist's.

Scale of hospitibility to people who disagree:

AF.org > average atheist forum > AF.com > Atheism+ > Christian forums

Am I right? (feel free to rearrange it if you disagree)

*raises hand*

Well, only with some of it. As a regular on AF.com I would say that certain people are inhospitable, whereas some aren't.

It's just the nature of the forum, really. There are also a large number of members over there that come from pretty oppressive households (regarding religion) so sometimes a harsh critique of a theist's posts is to be expected.

Meh. It's just people, not the forum in its entirety (IMHO).

Although the forum is advertised as an atheist forum, the forum seems to be frequented by religious persons.

Some of the atheists seem to have no clue as to how inhospitable their online personas are. Pretty weak actually if they want to represent atheism as a respectable world-view.

I'm here because the last forum I was a long-term productive member of collapsed and hasn't revived and since that time (what 3 years ago or so) I haven't had somewhere to discuss politics and religion online.

I can't remember receiving the memo that atheism had become a "world view".
