As it pertains to religion, I do not have any beliefs. That's a pretty big difference. That is regarding all theists. If we broke it down a little, I could say my position towards religion (not beliefs, mind you) holds a lot less hatred, bigotry and overall warmongering.

He is among his peers. This is a fucking atheist forum where theists are welcome openly. Nonetheless, it is still an atheist forum. Just because you do not wish to hear it does not mean his peers are not open to his opinion. If you want open discussion with your "peers," why are you on an atheist forum? It's not that you are not welcome, but I am seriously confused. Did you think you would find a bunch of atheists that go, "Oh, you really could be right. Maybe I am not so atheist after all?" We disagree with you, champ. Trying to figure out why theists think they way they do is perfectly acceptable and was the mission of the OP.
