I already answered your original question. I used to belong to an atheist forum about 15 years ago, and we would discuss science. Most people were friendly, and it was more about looking at scientific research and using that as a basis for making assertions about things or even coming up with new questions for discussion. Why not put up a banner if you only want atheists here? As far as I could tell, it was an open forum. It's also good to understand that many people do see this as a religious forum, even if you don't believe you're religious. You could go to a Christian or Muslim forum, and plenty of people there would tell you they're not religious. Also, a lot of the subject matter is identical. Atheists talk about religion, if not more, than theists. It may be with a negative outlook, but regardless, it gets lumped together especially on the Internet.
