There rationale at the time was that whites were more "civilized" than blacks or any other race. The theist community banning atheists is the religious version of the same bigotry. Their buybull tells them that we "sinners" are uncivilized. They're perfectly justified in being the "master race" of our time - just ask them.
Actually, I think the reason they tend to ban us atheists from their forum is that they don't want anyone raising embarrassing or uncomfortable questions which might make them or others question their beliefs. They like to surround themselves with like-minded believers so they can have communal reinforcement and don't like heathens interrupting their forums. It's kind of like how Christians debating God or creationism on Youtube block comments to their videos.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
