Congratulations, Randy, you finally got one right!
This is a forum for atheists to gather, learn about each other, socialize, point out interesting things to one another, joke with one another, and discuss all sorts of topics (the dominant religions of the world being one of those).
It's only your arrogance and self-centeredness that tells you it should be for discussing your religion.
We atheists tend to work toward being open toward people who differ in opinion, and thus we welcome theists here in a way that is not, repeat not, reciprocated by the theists, who almost universally treat us like shit wherever they hold dominant social control. The internet is one of the first times in all of history where we are relatively free to speak our minds openly, aside from private gatherings in homes (ironically akin to Christianity, in its early years). This is our free space, for the first time since the spread of Christianity and its repressions 1700 years ago.
And yet, you invade our sanctum, you abuse our hospitality, and then you try to play the victim card when we don't welcome your self-righteous OneTrueFaith™ proselytization with open arms.
This is our house. Polite guests are welcome, regardless of their personal opinions. But the moment you start to tread on us, the moment you start to think you are superior to us, or need not respect us, you can expect a shitstorm of hostile rhetoric coming back your way. And you will deserve every fleck of it.

I really admire your way with words, Rocky.
"Rocky". Now why didn't I think of that?
