Just a small thread to find out your opinions about how atheists or agnostics would be treated on religious forums. I have never been a member of any particular religious forum, and to be honest, this is a first for me being on here; a none theistic forum. I find that the tolerance level of religious pretty good and there is a great deal of banter to be had.
So, have any of you ever experienced the same sort of tolerances towards the fact that you maybe atheist, anti-theist, agnostic etc on a religious forum, or have you been banned because of your views? I would like to add a poll but it seems that I cannot. However, if someone can, then I would like the options to be the types of religious forums i.e. Protestant, Catholic, Mormon, baptist, Islam, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist etc etc.
Many thanks in advance.
It's actually very interesting you should bring this up. There is a group of over 6000 members on Facebook called Progressive Christians, of which I am one of a handful of atheist members.
I don't post much, but when I have posted, I have been treated with kindness and fairness. Most Pxians are very open to other points of views. The group is run fairly and they quash any heated arguments by locking down a post until everyone has had a chance to cool off, then it is re-opened for discussion. All in all, a nice group of people.
