Exactly. That's precisely the case. With respect to atheism itself there isn't much to discuss. There are only so many topics coming from not believing in something. The most fun to be had here is through pointing out all the ways in which religion is wrong, bad, immoral and harmful to the world and watch the theists on the forum fall over each other trying to defend it. That's why religion is the most popular forum.
