Without religions, there would be no need for an Atheist community.
The reason religion is more-discussed here is because atheism is simple and internally-consistent. There is no doctrine to discuss. There are no rules to argue over. There are no competing 'denominations' of atheism in conflict with each other.
I think that this thread is useful in a sense, it helps to demonstrate the falsehood of theist claims about atheism being a religion just like any other. If that was the case, there'd be a lot more to say about it. It reflects the truth of atheism in a sense: it really is nothing more than 'not believing in gods'.
You are a theist, and you went out of your way to join an atheist forum.
