Do religious beliefs actually have any significant bearing on moral decision making?

[pathos]

In my opinion it doesn't need every single person to take part in bullying to mean that 3 or 4 people have been deliberately hostile.

Well, that's only your opinion. Bullying is defined as repeated, aggressive behavior over a longer period of time, intended to gain power over another person. Since you have been here for only one day and since I don't think anyone feels the need to gain power over you, you are not being bullied.

Hardly constructive criticism

It wasn't criticism and thus not supposed to be constructive.

It seems much of the ill-feeling is based on highly misplaced intellectual snobbery.

Says the arrogant person, who can't apologize for being wrong.

I beg to differ your behaviour is highly territorial. I can assure you I have absolutely nothing I would wish to apologise for and it is another example of your attempts to gain power over me that you indicate I am indebted to do so.
I think that 4 people like this comment says enough "How would you react if you were hanging around with a group of friends and some guy stepped in and started asking you all a few questions? No introduction, no nothing, just a "please, fill these out as best you can".

You probably wouldn't do that to other people in the face, why do you do it here? Just as in real life, it's impolite."

It is a highly reductive metaphor and suggests that I can't come to an open forum, and make a new thread as I'm "interrupting friends" and am being rude. It is an open forum, it is not your territory. You are even beginning to lose sight of your own argument. Frankly it is alarming that that comment received so much appreciation. Although I commend it for being worded politely, the metaphor misses the point completely.
