Actually, I've never wondered about it. It's been my observation that they get banned because they preach rather than discuss.
I think the Staff here are pretty tolerant. You look at some asshole like the OP, whose post have all the content of the back of a box of Rice Krispies, who devolves into personal attacks when he doesn't secure agreement, and who contributes nothing else to the forum -- look at him. He's still here, and hasn't been banned.
Look at Drich. Here we have a Christian who has wished AIDS and cancer upon his atheist interlocutors, who is currently in another thread arguing that the slavery depicted in the Bible is moral even as he impugns the morality of others here -- look at him. He's still here.
Take Alpha Male and A Theist. Both surly, at least one of them pretty racist, neither of whom engages in discussion unless they've a bomb they want to throw. Neither banned.
No, assuming that bannings happen because the mods don't permit theists to express themselves is not accurate. The theists who get banned are the ones who preach, rather than discuss, generally.

You seem all for insulting theists, if my experience with you so far is to be considered. You think I can trust what you say?
Who in my position would?
No one.
You could, of course, read upthread in this very thread. There you will see a theist, the OP, freely insulting folks, without being banned.
You need not trust anyone but yourself, and you can verify what he's said.
